the map maker.

i want to travel the world,
to every corner of the map.
uptown, downtown, in & out,
of everywhere.
i feel like that's
one of the most beneficial things you can do
as a person living on earth.
culture yourself,
learn about other people,
see how they live,
what they do,
learn languages (or at least phrases),
and just all around,
experience everything.
i want to go wine tasting in tuscany,
i want to see the pyramids in egypt,
i want to party with the people of new zealand,
and australia,
but obviously not at the same time.
i want to be in a bull race,
and at the peak of the highest mountain.
i think that would be nice.
i hope by the time im 30,
(which gives me jussst over a decade)
i will have memories in all these places.
and i'll write them all,
right here.
i should probably start planning this out.



the past few days i've been staring at my walls,
reading over all thats been written,
in the past 6 years.
i miss it,
i miss being young,
and stupid,
and naive.
i miss not having consequences.
strangely, i even miss high school.
i remember eagerly waiting to bust out of that place,
now, less than 2 years later,
im wishing i could go back.
not because i want to re-live it,
it would just be nice to see some
old, familiar faces around.
however, nothing compares to the excitement
of right now.
every day, a new face.
every week, a new place.
its incredible.
its summer. its lively,
its passing time.
and even though that leaves me breathless,
i still cant wait till the day
when i settle back down,
in the town that i have so rapidly
learned to call home,
& i can see all the people,
who i've come to love,
in the short time that we've been together.
i never knew that moving to a new place,
would add new members to my family,
but i'm glad it did,
because i wouldn't trade them for the world.

i miss you, new paltz.
i'll see you soon.
