Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I have come to realize how tiny and insignifincant my existance is...I see myself everyday as if my existence were the center of the universe and I tend to forget the many things that are happening around the world. As I take a breath there are people elsewhere that are earning their paychecks, seeing their families, or even talking to a stranger on the street.

I have come to realize how my world is so deprived of this and many other things and how Im very far from knowing the millionth part of what im supposed to know. Im already 21 and I see that everything I have experienced so far is meaningless and pointless, there has got to be more in this life tha just living quietly without any cares in the world, the thrills that Im missing, the wonders this world keeps only for those willing to find them. I want to see them all. What is beyond that great gate that keeps me from going out? What is there behind the curtain that conceals all beyond my little town?

There has got to be more in life than just sitting there and listening to the lectures of the people who have experienced life by themselves. Those who have learned get to teach about their discoveries and those who are bold enough will always try to show what they have missed before on their own.

Im going to leave this place. I shall miss my family and all the comodities I have and the few true friends I have made. I shall miss doing what I usually do like being close to those who care for me but Im exchanging all that for many more things as well the experiences I shall acquire during my travels. That will be the fuel that fires up my desire to move on and what comes to me shall be written. I will start with writing my memories from today to the extent of everyday that passes in hopes of someday being able to publish it and show the world that my existance hasnt been in vain.

To follow such an enterprise is even beyond my wildest dreams. Is something that I can only hope to achieve with the will of those who may read this and those can lend me their strength through their combined dreams I can one day achieve my own. The lives that I have touched and those that I have yet to meet. The world is a really big place and there is nothing that I would like more than to see it with my own eyes. I can already see it in my mind and its beautiful. Its still so close and yet so far.

To prove the people around me that Im more than what they think of. Im more than what they expect. Im going to show the world that I have come to this world to leave my mark on it.
