Last night, I had the strangest dream ever. I was traveling again (by myself, again), but this time I was going to take a plane from Chicago straight out to Seattle. I couldn't find the airport, and when I did it was crowded, and I had to run to catch the plane. I entered this small compartment and finally boarded the plane. After a few seconds, ( Read more... )

I can relate SO WELL to this. I'm dying to travel. I feel to cramped when I stay in one place too long (this probably stems from my family moving every few years growing up). Right now I'm just trying to save all the money I can and aim to quit my job in late May. I want to travel from the Southwest up to Montana, and then I don't know where.

You should just go ahead and buy your train ticket. No sense in being stuck somewhere because of a person or a job. Chances are, he'll follow you anyway.

it sucks so bad because i want to move west next summer (2010), so i'm going to have to save for that, too. i feel so bored with life lately. it's awful.

Oh, you'll be able to save enough by then, I'm sure! It makes me so sad that life can be so boring but I also just want to pack my bags and go somewhere else. Somewhere less rainy... Washington was a bad choice.

i have this madness too, and my boyfriend doesn't get it either. we were talking recently about wanting to start our own sustainable farm commune place in the future, and he was talking 5 years maybe? but i know for a fact i am not going to be ready to settle down and commit to one place in the next 5 years. maybe in the next 15.

i feel like there's definitely a much cheaper way to get to california. 600 bucks is a ton of money. what about craigslisting rides or hitch hiking or hopping trains? i know these things are definitely easier said than done, but i have faith that you'd be able to figure that stuff out.

yeah, it would be like $300 each. i can't see dustin hitching at all, but i also don't see us saving up enough to go, pay two months rent, AND enjoy ourselves, we're pretty horrible with money.

its so ridiculously easy and fulfilling to hitchhike, why work when you can be travelling?

foreignseas January 11 2009, 02:56:16 UTC

one word: rent.
if i didn't have to pay rent, i'd be gone.

sigh. it's so easy to get trapped in the craphole of paying rent, buying stuff, eating out, etc. etc.
and it's so sad and empty

just before I got sucked in, I got out.
The problem becomes big when it stretches out into your entire lifetime..
paying for the right to live under a roof is fucking insane, no?

foreignseas January 11 2009, 03:24:49 UTC

it just seems so absurd that you have to pay for the right to live. i mean, food, shelter, health care... necessities to survive and exist and live.
it just seems crazy that i have to pay people to exist.

Dustin isn't as adventurous as I am either. Whenever I told him about my dream and how I have to travel he just mentioned that he hopes we have enough money and can get time off from work. He doesn't get the madness, I don't think. It's like nothing else matters but movement.

Oh, goodness. I have been with so many boys who don't have the same restless soul I do, and it's never easy trying to make them understand.

Some folks might say that I'm no good, that I wouldn't settle down even if I could...I love you baby, but you have to understand - when the Lord made me, he made a ramblin' (wo)man.
