Gate Words: Repetitious Hopeless Life

Jul 28, 2005 00:02

My biggest fear is living a boring un-fufilled life in a 9 to 5 job and coming home to were I will try to fufill my wishes for adventure and a life beyond my own, in playing games and in watching movies. I would hate to live such a life, games and anime have filled me with a wish for adventure. Nothing would please me more then to find a purpose for my existance and travel the world, trying to fufill this purpose. I want to be like in one of the Final Fantasy games and go on a huge adventure, spanning throughout the world; ultimately risking my life and soul to fight for a cause. Yet, I constantly worry for the future, realizing that my fantasies are exactly that.... a fantasy. No matter how much I wish them to be real, it will most likely not happen.

Though I have decided, should my life be filled with such monotony and I am just heading nowhere in my life.... I have decided that, should that day approach. I will sell or lock away my goods and begin my own journey. To escape the repetitous life that we all must suffer, I will head out on my own and live. I shall wander the Earth and try to find my place in this world. Much like the anime "Kino's Journey", I will wander from place to place; ekeing an existance of the good mother earth. To walk the United States and then head down to South America. From there, work till I can fly to Asia and again begin my wanderings. I have yet tried to figure out how I would escape customs and borders, but I guess that will be the fun of my journey. A journey of both mind and body, to escape the expectations placed on me by the world and to free my heart and soul to the nature. Such is the way I wish to live.... should my life be the typical 9 to 5 job.

People can think I am crazy, but the idea of working behind a desk for the rest of my life....seems so un-rewarding. Money is great, but personal enlightenment means so much more to me. So many things to see in this world and I am afraid that I will never see them if I am restrained to the chains of reality. Even if people think me childish or conceited, so be it. To live and to do what I wish, before the reaper greets me; in the end I want to say I have no regrets and much like the Robert Frost poem 'Two Roads', the poem of a mans decision to take the road less taken; when two roads that divulge in the woods. To experience everything in life, one needs to at least live twice. I can at least try to experience as much in this lifetime. I want to say I have walked from the Korea to France and then down to South Africa. Walked the Great Wall, see Ankor Wat, cross the Himalayas and the Andes, and to have survived the Sahara. I will die some day, this much I know is true. To live my life without being tied down to the expecations of people, to be free like the wind and always moving, never setteling in one place for to long. I want to be free.

Give me Wings to Fly
