A Travellers tale

You wake up, it takes a whole minute to locate yourself in this reality, where you are and how many responsibilities have to be taken care of. You go to work, college, do your daily chores, you catch up with friends, go to parties, get drunk, get very drunk, wake up the next morning and repeat… the cycle goes on and you find yourself in a circle bound by social interactions, but you feel it inside you, a feeling that grows with every passing day. Soon you start to look around towards the distant horizons, your gaze trying to find that familiar feeling hiding somewhere in the woodlands, the skies, the mountains, behind all those people and drinks and smoke filled rooms. After a few days or maybe weeks the feeling grows immense and you find yourself sitting on your desk with the world shut outside, Papers with rough plans sketched all over them, maps of distant countries with markings and travel destinations with pictures, advices and things to be done written over. Now the adrenaline rushes and you experience that feeling of being free, Slowly the itineraries finalise, flights are booked, bus routes are formed and hostel beds are confirmed, the last thing to do is get yourself together, pick up that travel bag thats been lying in the cupboard for some time and leave your comfort behind!
