Your Daily Dose #27: The benefits of running away.
So because today has just been made of fail, I've been thinking alot about running away. Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually going to pack up my shit and drive but it's days like today when I wish I could. Things aren't bad per se, but they are just so repetetive, and consuming, and suffocating. I just want to know what it would feel like to just grab my computer, ipod, music, books, stuffed animals, sweatshirts, and pillows and just go. I wish I could just feel that free for just five minutes. I miss the wide openness that was South Dakota, the prarie stretching out as wide as you could see, you don't get that in Florida, we have high rises and condos and Jacksonville is so industrial it makes me want to cry. I just have this itch under my skin to run as far away as possible. to take a road trip, and let the world lead me to my destination. Leave everything up to chance. Like that song, head's Carolina, tails California. That's not bad is it? I don't even know anymore. All I know for sure is that I'm going to bed in fifteen minutes, I don't even care that the sun just went town less than an hour ago. I'm so tired, I feel it in my bones, and I know that if I don't give into the urge to sleep that I'll pull another all-nighter.
