....you live the way you do. don't cry for the things you don't do, but find joy in what you do experience. you are beautiful and worldly in your own way, and you are at a point in life where the world will be at your fingertips should you choose to take the plunges.
half the time i take the plunges, i just leave. i do things that might seem mundane the normal person, but aren't to me. one of my favorite memories of travel, for example, was going from st. louis to lincoln, nebraska by train. i was going for a student conference. i had a layover in kansas city for seven hours, which to many would be an inconvenience. but, since it dropped me right in the middle of the city (and i had never really visited), i locked my bag in a locker at the train depot, and walked the city, taking pictures, meeting strangers, watching children...it was good. i enjoyed it.
this weekend, i'm thinking of visiting this place where you can see a CRAZY panorama of lake winnebago....when johnny was up here moving me, and we ran around taking pictures and such, we just HAPPENED to drive on this route, and were awestruck (however briefly) at the craziness. i want to see it again. i want to feel that surprise of coming over that hill.
I often ramble about wantign to scoop up my closest friends and replant everyone in a new city and fucking start over together. And that lead to talking about my boyfriends best friend uprooting last minute again in a few weeks and that you were still out of state.
I've done ALOT of very random spur of the moment things, especially with travel, but nothing so much n the last two years and I think travel is what kept me fucking sane. I'm going stir crazy as hell and I think I no longer like St.Louis,.. but have not found another city I'd like to be in yet. If I ever travel to Europe I'm fucked 'cause I'm staying.

I think I need to start taking those plunges, but I don't have any direction as to what those should be.
