Although I am 'home', I am always thinking of ways to leave. That selfishness to live my own life eats away at me but its such a tangible feeling that I just can't shake off. This was such a wonderful piece of writing and that line — Running away is the gluttonous act of sinking your teeth into ripe fruit picked from a tree while others weigh their baskets at the counter — holy shit, dude. Amazing.

Reading this made me think...it's unbelievable how much we yearn for closeness no matter where we are. Yet, when it shows itself in front of us, we run out of fear, excitement, or both. I guess that's part or growing up. Wishing you safe travels and many discoveries 😌
