“Not all who wander are lost.”
The first time I wandered I felt like I had found myself. That was a year ago. Ever sense then I have tried my best to be a wanderer. I also tried to find places I could wander to. Finally I needed someone I could wander with.
My best friend has a little gypsy in her and she was the one who I took my first big girl trip with exactly a year ago. She truly is my inspiration for the person I want to get back to. But we live hours away and getting in touch with my soul mate isn’t always easy. But I think of her often and can almost feel her with me when I think of the many adventures I can’t wait to have.
My boyfriend is my rock and I can be my absolute self with him. We make plans and we’ve taken some trips together including another this October to Arizona. With our busy schedules it’s hard to get a full day together let alone plan a trip. Somehow we’re making it work and we plan to continue traveling.
In the meantime I try to think of all the places that are so nearby and yet I haven’t explored them yet. Where can I go next? What can I do?
I work two jobs so I can have extra money to save, because Lord knows gas alone isn’t cheap. So I continue to save money and make more plans so I can continue to do the things that make me happy.
Just this past week my dad, little sister and I went up to Springville just to look at a venue spot and seeing what every little town had to offer on the way there lifted my spirits. When we started to go past Springville into the mountains I felt my head soar with the possibilities. Seeing the gorgeous mountains with a high layer of fog skimming the tops made me feel exhilarated just looking at it. Unfortunately my little sister is a homebody and had a fit about wanting to go home. So as we turned around my heart sank again. But I know I will be wandering again soon.
