I was gone and had a wonderful time.

Freedom that I'd never once believed I could have and I wasn't so careless as to let it overwhelm me into a life of decadence.

I covered thousands of miles and a number of states.

Saw many new things, ate new things, experienced new things and good or bad loved all of them.

Most importantly I wasn't tied down or distracted from myself. I wasn't influenced by anyone other than me and my mind and it really helped me to dig deep into who I am.
Granted, it was a bit lonely at times I still had the kind of profound exploration that a lot of youths experience in college, only freer. I didn't have classes or tests to worry about. No partying, no relationships, nothing to focus on beyond the phenomenon that had manifested itself as who I am, whether conscious or subconscious. In doing so I've finally come face to face with a BIG fact about myself that has always been there and is really very obvious if pointed out, but denial is a bitch sometimes....maybe I'll share it with all of you sometime, but now? Not quite ready yet. It's a BIG change and I'll leave that at that for the time being.



I kept a journal of my travels and maybe I'll post a trimmed down version of that on here one day but I've got a lot that needs to be taken care of first.

I really could've kept going on the road for another month at least. I had/have the finances to do so and I'd finally figured out all the tricks and workings of life on the road, but I didn't. Maybe I'll go into that later too since it's directly linked to the prior mentioned thing.





As soon as I saw my home town I started to feel chained up and stifled......
