where would you go? – post 147
If you could just stop your life, take off and start over again, where would you go? What would you do?
Ever since I was in public school I always dreamed of jumping on a slow moving freight train and just see where it takes me. Where would I end up? Who knows. What would I do when I got there? I have no idea. I usually think in old 30’s and 40’s style thoughts where I would get off in a port town and start to make a living moving cargo on and off ships or something. Mostly manual labour, which is funny because I am so not a manual labour kind of guy. Or maybe a short order cook. Some thing that is very low profile. In reality I’m sure I’d end of being that crazy guy living out of a box in the ally way.
On the larger scale, I would walk away from all my stuff and go be a monk in Tibet. Seriously. To have no personal possessions to hold me down would be great and to live in seclusion and nature would be fantastic. Of course I’d have to have some sort of internet detox. I’m sure cutting cold turkey would be hard to do, but the idea of it all seems very nice indeed.
But, I have a family. A truly wonderful family, and I wouldn’t walk away from them for anything in the world. And my life is truly great as well. I wouldn’t change anything.
But it is fun to imagine sometimes what might happen to you if you tried to start over. ^_^
