Well Katie.. you can do whatever you want. You don't have to get married or have kids if you would rather travel around. I have actually felt the same way, and wonder if I really want to settle down sometimes. Traveling around without knowing what to expect seems really exciting. There are so many paths we can take though. It seems difficult to be content in chosing only one of them. If it was possible to take multiple paths, I would surely attempt it.. but since I am one person, I'll just take one for now.. and see where it leads me...
Natalie...lets become freakin homelss down on skid row...true ministry...that is what Jesus would have done...lived with the people..allowed them into his every inch of life...he would have crawled through the gutters and slept in a box...as sson as your done with your year...you'll need a place to stay anyway....L.A Union Mission here we come.

if you want to do it, then do it...i would have more respect for you than most people...so where are you from...what do you do...what's your favorite after-dinner frozen dessert?
Every day I catapult myself from my apartment in a near frenzy. Daily I need to escape the environment I have created, for it is intolerable. A pointless act, going from nothing to nothing, but I do it with the fervor of a madman. I am in a constant state of limbo and feel ill at ease wherever I go. Perhaps you are the same, on a search for the feeling of home, with the sense that you must move on always engulfing you. Perhaps you feel restless, but nothing calls for you. As for myself, I am like a cockroach being swept forward by a broom. The broom cares not where you go, only that you do not remain. I have not always lived like this, as if I had no place on this earth. I have not always felt homesickness in the deep recesses of my basement. Or have I? Again the past evades itself and becomes renewed in the fires of the present.

"on a search for the feeling of home, with the sense that you must move on always engulfing you. Perhaps you feel restless, but nothing calls for you."
Yes. Exactly.
It is an odd mixture of the frantic desire to flee and to declare myself a "refugee"...never allowing my situation to get too comfortable...there is something about comfort that is uneasy...but at the same time there lurks a strong need to belong somewhere...to be wanted and needed... to be home. At each turn I convince myself that "as soon as I"...or "when I"...I will finally be satisfied...SECURE...or what ever it is that I feel has been taken from me or that I need to acquire before I go on. But there lies a sneaky suspicion in my mind that perhaps all these that I long for have nothing to do with any situation at all, but within myself.

The andes mountains...the nile...the amazon...the sahara desert here I come.
