ABOUT ME

"Not all those who wander are lost".

And that is true. It's not because we travel, and because we change ourselves constantly - from place to place, from experience to experience - that we are lost. I know who I am and I know who I want to be and what I want to do and I still have this itch that tells me go wander. How to explain it?

I could quote you Jack London, Thoreau, J. D Salinger, all the beats in the world and still fall short of explaining why exactly do we travel, and what is this feeling that one's present world is becoming smaller, and that desire to go out and see more, and more. The entire world you still not be enough.

Does it need explaining? Maybe... But for now I'm content in merely living it and explaining it later.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a procession of shadows, life is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing, life is wicked, life is a place in the heart that will never be filled, life is a big messed up quote from Platy, Shakespeare, Woolf and Bukowski.

Life may be full of terrors (and wonders), but the thing is, most people don't live it, most people only exist (that's another quote for you, this time by Oscar Wilde). And I want to live it. Live while I can.

"Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason" - Easy A

“I can’t explain what I mean. And even if I could, I’m not sure I’d feel like it.” - J.D. Salinger
