Often it's starts with nothing but a distant dream. Most of the time that is all it ever is. Something to think about when stuck in traffic. A silly daydream about doing it differently. Escaping the rat race. A life of adventure. A life in the sun. Whatever. There's always someplace better than here. Everybody's dreaming about something.
My dream lingered on for years.
Ever since I settled in a quiet life with a job and a wife.
Then, one autumn day, the wife left.
Life became really quiet. Got scared of that big, evil world out there. Never going to leave this town. It's all nice and safe. An easy day job and a comfortable, solitary life. Simple and easy. Maybe one day I'll retire in the sun...
Just a few weeks ago I started seeing things in a different light. This country is not doing me any good. It's too damn smooth and easy. No one seems to realize how lucky they are. Everybody has everything but we still just want more...
Jumping around like brain dead dodos in a golden cage
Don't know about you but I want out. Can't breath in here anymore. Its so easy to spend a life time waiting for a dream. But the only way to make a difference is trough action...
So today I went to see my boss to talk about a sabbatical.
(Boom!)
Papers signed, documents filed.
I like my odds on this one
