"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward....

Sometimes I just get restless.

For most of my life I imagined that everyone felt restless, that everyone felt, forgive the cliché, but that everyone felt like a caged bird. And I still believe that most people do indeed feel restless sometimes. I also know now that there are some of us that will in fact feel trapped until they are free.

Which is why I am currently overseas with a backpack that is a bit too full, a bank account that is a bit too low, a plane ticket that is a bit one-wayed, and an itinerary that is beautifully non existant.

Some days I get a little worried. Most days I don't. I still haven't decided if this is because everything will work out or because I am utterly unrealistic. I could be here for a month, I could be here for a year. I don't really do well with time limitations.

For now I am quite content with seeing beautiful architecture, smelling street vendor carts, listening to the melody of Italian voices, tasting pizzas and gellatos, and feeling more like myself than I have in a long time.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination....
