I sometimes think I was born into the wrong life. This crazy, loud, everything bigger, everything better society I find myself so often trying to escape.
I would love to become a wandering gypsy, free of everything that bounds me here; money, expectation, society’s greed, that damn urge to always want more. Why? Why do we always want what we cannot have? Why do we want the newest, fastest, greatest whatever it is that we see again and again on square boxes we sit staring at hour after hour? The sound that booms to us from the radio of our fast, shiny cars; that society tells us if we have, will make our lives easier, make us more attractive, make us happier… make us what? Robots that can no longer think for ourselves? All we see is the biased view from the news, the stories that are censored and edited and changed completely from the original content, until we react exactly how they want us to. Society has us so warped that we’ve forgotten who we really are.
Perhaps some of us never knew.
I wish to have nothing, live in freedom, knowing that all that I have is my memories and experiences and the bonds I’ve formed with people over the years. I wish to merely learn, love and dance in the rain and live happily ever after in my wonderful, dreamy bohemian life with the one I love most.
