Let's go on an adventure
Get up, go to school, come home from school, do homework, have tea, do homework, go to bed.
Urgh.
The mundane, boring every-day-the-same routine.
I may be in complete agreement with the 'live for the moment' and not wishing your life away attitude but there are very few words I can think of which describe the last week better than 'grey'. Very, very grey. And no-one like grey.
Watching the rain fall from my window, I can think of 100 places I'd rather be, doing something new, something different. There's so much out there to be explored and I feel stuck in this awful, repetitive ritual. 4 more weeks of school, 4 more weeks...
I want it to be summer, unlimited freedom, being able to go on spontaneous adventures, having cut every last tie with school. To go camping, climb a hill under the stars, explore new places by bike, and go paddling in the sea. I yearn to travel far from home and get lost in strange cities, meet new people from all over the globe, watch the world pass by from the windows of planes, trains and buses. Can we go right now to a music festival, watch fire-works explode over the sea and live the life of a music video? Explore remote places by foot with only a rucksack and a map, resting to watch the sun set and the moon rise. Take dramatic photos and mad selfies, swim in the dark, dance in the rain, leave footprints and write notes in the sand.
Let's pack a bag and leave without looking back, searching for a simpler, less materialistic way of life - no make-up, no WiFi, no unnecessary drama, no cares for the judgements of others or of what the future may hold.
All I need, is good company and a good view.
