When I was eight, which was years before the first moon
landing *cough*, I announced my intention to move to the space station when I
grew up.
You know, the wheeled city in space with 50,000 people on
it?
Well. I’m still waiting for them to build it, as well as still waiting to grow up, apparently – but that’s another story.
These days my dreams are more earth-bound, but no less
ambitious. I want to travel to every continent, Lonely Planet-style.
Vagabonding, backpacking, trekking, hostels – whatever I have to do – I’m
going.
Following your dreams is what life’s all about, isn’t it? As
Mark Twain once said, “Twenty
years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Where will your dreams
take you? Share your yearnings in the comments, and then make them happen!
