I think I need a sunrise

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name


Oh to have the freedom to be able to just jump on a plane and go somewhere else. Just to start off somewhere different, like a new start. There's so much out there, and yet we spend most of our lives in the same place.
But that one place is home. It's where we grow up, feel comfortable, and have our loved ones around us. If we pick up and leave all of that, then what do we have? Freedom, yes, but we've also got to start from scratch. We're completely alone in a brand new place- that seems pretty scary to me.

I'd love to travel, I think it'd be amazing to see some of this massive world that we live in, but I want to know that I've always got somewhere to return to that I can call home.

Where I'd go
  • Paris
  • Australia
  • Texas
  • Japan
  • London
But my home will always be where I grew up, and where people know me. Regardless of their opinion on me, and the fact that I could go somewhere & start ALL over again, I want to be in that place where I'm comfortable, and where I know the score.

And if you want to change- then change! (hopefully for the better though). Don't worry about people saying that you're being something you're not; chances are, if you're wanting to change it's because you've been being something you're not for a very long time- and where's the fun in that? Again, it's your life, so be who you want to be. Don't waste it being something you're not, just to keep those around you happy. Mix things up a bit.

  1. It's easy to stay in your comfort zone all your life. To stay in that one place that you know. Where you know what's acceptable and what you can do. But life isn't supposed to be easy. You're supposed to get out there and find your Great Perhaps. You're supposed to learn the ways of the world. Look at how other people live their lives. Compare. Meet new people. Experience new things. Make a few mistakes and learn a couple of life lessons from them. Travel broadens the mind.

  2. "I go to seek a Great Perhaps"
    Make a few mistakes- I like that, and I'm well on my way on that one too! But I definitely agree with what you're saying. So many other people are living their lives & we have no idea of their culture. & life definitely wasn't meant to be easy, was it? If only.
