Two-Headed Boy
As I sat in the park today, eating my lunch, enjoying the delightful breeze that was flowing through the city, I was struck by an idea that has been slowly crystallizing in my mind over the past few weeks. I kind of, sort of, almost, feel like I maybe, might start to feel at home in this city. Restaurants, bars, parks, museums, people, sights, sounds, all rush into my consciousness when I think about why I am happy. Looking around, there is a lot to see and do here, and I haven't experienced half of what there is to offer.
However, I feel restless. I need to find adventure, new experiences and new people, especially before I move back to Boston. Montreal was an adventure, but I can't do that every weekend. I will have to seek new things closer to home for right now, and plan to travel in the future. I have money saved up that I want to use to see more of the world. I could backpack through Europe, or better yet Eastern Europe. I could take the trip to Germany or Russia that I've always wanted to take. Australia would be an amazing place to be or a trip through Asia would be like nothing I could imagine. I need to see the world and push myself to experience people, places and activities that I've said I could never see or do. For the first time in my life, I think I actually have the motivation and the courage to go through with those impulses. I'm actually amazed, frankly, that I'm inspired to write this. I've been safe for too long and content with being safe as well. Time to change that.
Umm. Go me.
Also, go listen to Neutral Milk Hotel if you never have before. Along with Death Cab for Cutie, they are one of my favorite bands that I've discovered this year.
