I will not be typical.

Summer has begun.  Record player is blaring "Phantom of the Opera".  Room is still in shambles after my move back home.  Ideas of decorating are zooming through my head.  My heart is racing, could be the coffee, could be thoughts of travel.  I want to travel.  If nothing else I want to travel.  I don't want to settle down, not yet.  Why must I finish school, I don't want the typical life.  Yes, someday I will get married and someday I will have kids.  But I am 23, and I'm not ready for that life at all.  I want to do crazy things.  I want to have stories.  I don't want to live a life of "I wish".  I  want to live a life of "Remember when".  

I have so much stuff... 13 perfume bottles, almost 100 DVDs, enough shoes for days, and stuff with no point.  I'm tired of the life of the typical American.  So many people have nothing and are more than happy.  I don't want this excess of crap in my life.  I want to be free from the chains that these material items have on me.  

I want to just go.  I don't want to have a destination, I don't want to have a schedule.  I want to be free.  I want to do things my own way.  I want to be me.  I want to get my nose pierced.  I want to skip to the beat of my drum, deciding which beat I will proceed on.  I want to be in a location where I can do what I desire and no one will say "boo" about it.
  When I look back on my life the comfortable life makes me uneasy instead of content.  I seek adventure, it feeds my soul.
  I want to fall in love.  I want to fall in love with a man, and I want to fall in love with a location.  I want to know that where I am is where I am supposed to be.
  God knows where that is going to be, and I'm ready for that to begin.  NOW.
