After a myriad range of experiences and years accumulating my physical self, I am embarking on another journey, only this time I am not carrying my trekking shoes and rucksack. Where am I going, you would ask? Do I need sunscreen..? Hell yes ! Everybody's free to wear sunscreen, thank you Baz Luhrmann.
I have to pack a lot of things for this trip. My not-getting-any-younger body, my very occupied mind, my self painted trunk, my nasal drops, my torch light and my lipbalm. Most importantly, I have to carry focus along. She doesn't come with me on most journeys. I have to keep persuading her to come, telling her she will get the best seat, or the best piece of chicken if she decides. When she does accompany me, we have a fabulous time together. We do what we're supposed to do. We go where we're supposed to go, and we come back as planned. When she's not around, I am distracted. In short, she's really needs to come this time!
Why? Why now...couldn't I have chosen a better time...maybe years ago, when it was legit to take this trip...when I was in the flow of things...? I really cant answer for everyone, but for me, wisdom came late. My wisdom teeth though, came right on time. So, this delay was in the growth of my mental capacity. There's no harm admitting to one's own weaknesses. It makes you stronger, and more attuned to reality. What you couldn't see then, you see now..even more clearly!
I am used to seeing the positive, and I see the World through rose tinted glasses. I have no problems dreaming of a better brighter future, seeing the good in all things negative. Someone who liked me once told me, "D, dreamers are achievers"...and although I never really liked him back, I liked what he said and I still follow it. Before you think my favourite word is "EXCELSIOR" and I was in rehab as well, let me tell you my scores were pretty darn good. I don't have reality issues, but I really detest when people don't plan for the positive in their lives.
I guess I'm drifting from the topic at hand..she's coming.......okay she's here now...my pretty little focus:) What I need to take along with me is a one way ticket..and lots of tweety balls..you know why? because its been ages since I wrote with pen and paper, and my fingers will hurt from all the writing I am going to do the next couple of years. This time its not a monument, a country, a lake, or a mountaintop. I am taking a trip...BACK TO SCHOOL ! I am going to University for the next two years...and I am going to learn how to communicate. Well, as proof of my lack of it, this post exists...you will see the change when I graduate in communications and finally write a worthwhile post soon. Its time to leave and I will be sending you picture postcards. Let me see..ticket-check, luggage-check, books-check, sunscreen-check, dropslipbalmtorch-check, focus...???? see you there! :)
