Think on These Things
In a way this is the first day of a new life situation. I spent the last night last night in the room that has been mine for the last two years. I’m sitting now in my backyard, listening to Roots Manuva waiting to go to the greater Bay Area for the weekend. There are many ways to look at the time coming in my life. In one sense, it is just a city move & a decision to travel. In another though, this is the first time in my life I’ve allowed myself space to be without plans and see what develops. Shall I be cheesy and call it a right of passage? Sure, why not. I can’t say it feels easy to be on the verge of 26 and not have a ‘life plan’ but its the only sensible option, for today anyways. The change feels important. I’ve seen those around me gain varying amounts from traveling. Its certainly an experience that will give from what it is given. It’s funny to read people’s experiences at places like realtravel.com and travelblog.org and see people interacting so little with the cultures around them; people often seem oblivious. But I guess I will have more to say on these things when I leave, which I hope to be in October after a few months in L.A. and a week at Burning Man.
