I want to braid flowers into my hair,
And leave everything behind.
Pack up the essentials of my life;
Guitar, books, journal,
Photograph of you,
And drift away, cast hither and thither,
Floating on an invisible river.
Ride it down through the untamed moors,
Across Devon and Cornwall,
To the coast, as far west and south
As I can go,
And live out of my tent, car,
Finally free of the life that's been
Holding me as a willing captive.
Maybe I can find the real me.

Travel Again
Travel is my fate. A plan I must create. To be free. To be me. With glee. Walk with smiles. Travel a thousand miles. By foot. Scenery to look. Upon with excitement. This is the path I have chosen.

Why can't I find it. Where could it be. Is it just that there's something wrong with me. I've lived in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Spain, Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire but still this pain.

@casualhero @ckahn @leelee101 @naaviie thank you everyone. Seriously considering this. My mum lives in Cornwall so I could use her place as a base for my travels...might learn to surf too βΊ
@Irrational_Kimmi make sure it's not just a knee jerk reaction hunny, but as kristina says, if it feels right... πβ€π
@naaviie @ckahn @leelee101 I've got no job or anything at the moment and I'm probably going to have to move out of my flat so nothing holding me here anymore! But I'll think about it seriously. I just finished training as a teacher but I think I'm going to try and write instead now I have no commitments!
