holiday from real
so for the past month i've been planning. i've been planning a huge escape, how i could pull together money that i don't have and get back to europe, or get back somewhere. i've decided that i want to spend some large amount of my life traveling. that sounds so selfish, but i hey i'm a selfish person, we all are.
i asked my grandmother what it was like get married when she was 32 and what she did with all that time. she said she just traveled and lived her life. this meant she probably scraped by doing people's hair in a beauty shop she owned with the mother of my 10th grade chemistry teacher in a little town in middle tn. she was married for about 18 years before her husband died and she just started all over again and traveled the world. egypt, europe, other places. i wonder if that's what i'm gonna end up like.
i think would rather be riding elephants in thailand through the jungle and sleeping in grass huts. or writing travel novels or something exciting. i'll have adventures and wear the same clothes for a month or till they give out. mom said that i was trying to run away from my problems but i think it's just temporary and i wouldn't have these issues if i was away from the people and places that act as a catalyst for my issues. she might be right though. who's to say?
someone told someone that i know that it took her about 2 years to get back to normal after vienna. if you ask me, i'd say that's a bit dramatic. but you never know. i still find myself somewhat dependent on vienna people. i do live through pictures though.
new years was awesome, i can't wait to do more of the same.
as for resolutions, i resolve to be tolerant, or to at least try.
