Sometimes on nights like tonight I will be out around 9 o'clock or so and I will just be driving and I'll think about what I wish I could be doing. I'll wish that I was a character in one of those movies where the teenagers just go drive around town and laugh and have fun. I'll wish that I could just drive and have no responsibilities, have an experience that was just about me and finding myself. Just see how far the road takes me. That I would even have someone to ride alongside with me. Be able to have someone sit next to me and laugh with them or talk to them.
This coming week I have five days off- Tuesday through Saturday. If I had my choice I would take those five days I would travel just a little bit. Maybe I'd drive up to Minnesota or over to Chicago. I could even make it to Colorado for a day or two. The more I stay here in Iowa, the more stir-crazy I become. I have seen so little of y world and it fills me with sorrow. I think of the beautiful God made mountains I saw last summer and I yearn to them again, and to discover whats on the other side of them. I've seen the big city of New York, but only a small portion. I love my home, but I have a need to see more. God created this world to be discovered. If I could do one thing with my life it would be to travel to as many places as I could. When I graduate, I wish that I could take a year or two and just explore my home country. Is it so bold of me to want to strike out on my own? To explore and rely upon myself?
I am restless and I have at least two more years before I can go anywhere or just do anything.
