before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been

you can't put your finger on it.
but your heart can feel it.
you don't know what it is,
its something that beckons for discovery
something that will stray
if you let it go
if the feelings subside
they have a way of coming back
catalysts in the shape of experiences ignite this feeling.

to break the confines
to explore
to decide whether you want to sail or fly
to remark your destination,
to scream it
to shout it out so loud that no one can hear you
instead
they will feel you.
everything will shake
and your feelings shatter.
you'll get there in the end.
if only to be older.
and have personalities that guarantee better
than your money back
this
is
life.





i've always wanted to travel the world.
but there's this sense of urgency now. For a while i've felt regret, i feel as if i didn't live up the years everyone says your supposed to live up. I'm 16. there's a lot of time. but now i feel like i can't wait. Instead of looking back on what i've left behind..i'm now more excited at the propsect of change. Of going places. Of doing things. Of growing up.
Maybe?
These two years will be crazy. I can feel it. And i promise i'll make the most of it.
Because as much as you wish you were living else where,
somewhere you think is better.
And as much as you wish you could do something
something you feel you want to pursue.
You have to know you
You have to understand the things around you
the people who shape you
to get to that stage.
Everyone wishes they lived some place else. there's never really contentment.
We imagine ourselves in different situations, in different circumstances and at times we're so engrossed in these daydreams our eyes are shut to reality, to the things around us.
If only people realised that they have in their hands the capcity to get out of life whatever it is they want.
