a boy in transit

im only truly happy when im traveling

assateague island
rehoboth beach
salisbury maryland
leesburg virginia

all the following occured somewhere between all these places
(the following doesnt even come close to doing justice to my life since tuesday afternoon)
lay on the beach & watch as a dark starry nite becomes a beautiful sunrise
see long time friends growing up
hanging out with people youve only met once but they treat you like one of their own
have an hour phone conversation with someone you thought youd never talk to again
sit by a campfire in silence getting eaten alive by bugs
spend a sleepless nite on a beach/in a pull out bed/on the floor of a cheap hotel room/on a pull out couch
a diet consisting mostly of wawa made to order
spend another day driving endless miles
find yourself in a field taking photos for three hours with your best friend

at some point during that hour phone conversation the person on the other end asked where i was & why i hadnt found a job yet. & i got to explaining that im going to live my life before i work. when i need money ill get a job but until then im going to have the most fun i can. the next day i got a text from the same person that said "after talking last night all i want to do is quit my job" & that made my day.

another week of learning about myself & others
lifes become so much clearer in recent weeks
