Watching a Thousand Sunrises

This world scares me.
There are so many things to see and so many ways to live.
And I am afraid I won't ever be able to experience it all.
I am Afraid I Won't be able to taste all the sweetness of the world.
And that scares me the most.
Giving me an empty longing for an adventure.

I want to feel like an adult while strolling through the streets of Venice.
I want to fall in love with an iced coffee in hand under the Eiffel Tower.
I want to get lost in the streets of Manhattan.
I want to watch the sunrise from a thousand different horizons.

I don't just want to see the world, I want to feel it.

I want to dance in the rain under city lights.
I want to stare down never ending one way streets with a map tied to my wrists.
I want to kiss the edge of every visible ocean.
I want to live beyond these walls.

I want my mind to become a map of the world.

I never want to see the same place twice.
I want to leave my heart in a paper town and ghost towns.
I want to have 200 stories to tell about how beautiful every culture is.
I don't want to be trapped here.

I want to be adventurous.
oh darling Let's be adventurous.

    Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I feel you. I really understand how you feel, I've felt it before. Except replace Paris with New York and iced coffee with a water bottle from Wal-Mart

    Simple, but yes.

    And the mouse on your blog is blowing my mind.
