LIFE ON THE ROAD

Life on the road. It’s a peculiar thing. The fact that you left home and your good old comfort zone, puts pressure on your chest. Your shoulders carry a backpack full of things you’re not sure you’ll have to use or not. You feel overwhelmed with doubt. You don't know exactly where you’re going or what will happen. This makes you anxious and pumps you with the adrenaline to keep going nowhere. You take long buses or hitchhike on some random highway. Once you get to the next city or town, you look for a cheap place to stay. Once you've settled in, you go busking on the streets to make a buck for food. The weight of survival is on your shoulders but for some reason, you feel alright. This pushes you. At some point, you go for a hike and find an incredible mountain-city view. The fresh air and nature fill you up with inexplicable joy and sense of well-being. There is nothing left to do and nothing else matters. You sit and breath. The present moment is everything and you feel whole. This  sticks in your mind and becomes a memory you'll never forget. Still, you want more. You chase the same feeling again and get back out on the road.
