So as life at home in the suburbs becomes increasingly repetitive, dull and hopeless, and my high school days build up to the crucial final year, I'm feeling more and more restrained and tied-down and trapped and limited and hopeless. This is by far one of the worst places I have ever been, and I want out.
In a way it's exciting- highschool coming to a close, I mean. In less than 24 months I'll be, in some ways, free. Free from highschool at least. Then comes work and university.
I figured I would just not do it. I refuse to go straight into uni- I will take a gap year and have my complete freedom, for a little while at least. If I went straight into university after highschool, I would surely die. I need to get away first.
Who knows, maybe I'll have some sort of epiphany along the way and I'll change my career path entirely?
I just have to travel. I dont know where it came from, but the desire is burning inside me. I want to board planes and fly across the globe. I want to be jetlagged and culture-shocked and I want to learn languages and absorb traditions and meet the locals and make memories and friendships. That appeals to me more than I can say. That, to me, sounds like the greatest time imaginable.
So here, to inspire us both, are some of the places I want to visit. No- I will visit.
