do you ever want to run away?
August 15, 2009
I want to run away and I wonder if everyone has moments like these, or in my case days like this when I just don’t want to be responsible for anything.
I just want to run and run and run.
where to I don’t know….
of course my responsibilities, my conscience and money keeps me from doing anything.
I still want to run though…..
and find myself somewhere…….
Oh, yeah. I have these moments all the time. Sometimes when the remands of everyday life become overwhelming, I think about hoping a plane to anywhere, just to get out of there. I don’t want to be irresponsible, but the wanderlust would be something wonderful to follow. It’s alright to think those thoughts. It’s a much more constructive way to react to stuff around you. Whether you are comfortable with acting on those feelings and the ramifications is another story. None of us have the financial or personal freedom to just pick up and go, but thinking about it won’t hurt anyone.
The next time you get those feelings, just get in your car and drive. Not far, but far enough that you are out of regular routine, get out and have a look around.
Another idea is to go to YouTube and put “Rick Steves” in the search box. There are clips of his travel programs there. Maybe you’ll find a place you’ve thought about.
Good luck.
