Today i saw the sunrise and the sunset. if only every day i had something to say about it. but so many days pass and then i wake up and realize i have forgotten how to dream. today, in the middle of Humanities class…i remembered. and i had to get out. i left class, went to the library, and found out how much an airplane ticket would be to the major cities of the world.
Not so much that i wanted to go, or to any place in particular….i just wanted to know i could. i wanted to dream about something knew. imagine doing something different. not feeling stifflingly stuck. Depression must be when you can’t dream anymore. when you can’t see your life from any different angle.
Imagination. i read a book that said violence was for a country that had lost its imagination. had forgotten how to come up with another solution.
it is a wonderful thing to sit down and think of new ways to do old things. no day should be without it. Maybe it is trying a new food. or driving a new way to work, or pushing both of the doors open and walking through like you are the queen. those are the little things that make life better. fuller. grow your imagination. set our sights higher–we might not have all we want, but we can always move in a direction that is closer.
Cruses: $179. but then i have to get to the port as well.
Bus: about $65 one way to anywhere
Train: about $120 one way to anywhere
Bike: free
hmmmm. still thinking.
