of escaping. Burning my bridges, abandoning town, taking my dog and camera and driving until the road ends, then anywhere else. I want to travel and shake off this crippling shyness and sense of stagnation. I want to see the sights, both grand and small. I want to take photos of Yosemite and Yellowstone, down to quaint little neighborhoods in the middle of South Dakota. Set up camp somewhere and take photos of the stars while the pup sleeps nearby. There’s so much to see and so much to experience, yet society would rather have us rot in an office for 8 hours a day for forty years before retiring and dying.
I just want to escape this humdrum town. I just need the right kick.

sounds like an adventure! why not take a week off work and go for it? : )
ReplyLife is hella mundane. I don't have a good, permanent solution, but what I suggest is that you save up as much money as you can, and try to take frequent trips. If you can work a shitty retail job and can deal with living in poorer areas of town, you'll be able to actually save up quite a lot (depending on where you live and work). I've been blessed to work at places that are very flexible with time off, so you may not even have to quit. Unless you just wanna pack up and move every so often, which is another, slightly more expensive choice. And, honestly, you'll be surprised at what you can find in your own backyard. I live near a major city with a giant light pollution problem, but there's a park just 20 minutes away from me where, on a cloudless night, you can see the centre of the Milky Way.
I hope you're able to get unstuck.
ReplyFigure out how to do it if that's what you want. But there will be sacrifice. Maybe things you really can't live without. Have to work with what is
