I yearn for places I haven’t yet seen

A Million Dreams Are Keeping Me Awake

Do you ever just sit at home and think about the countless million different places on Earth with a million different people and a million different sights and a million different experiences. 

Just imagine there are 510 million square kilometres of just land (JUST LAND! Imagine what wonders you could find exploring the seas) on earth and every single piece is waiting with a new adventure.

I have this globe in my room and sometimes just before I go to bed it catches my eye and for the rest of the night dreams about all the different adventures that could be waiting plague me and keep me awake.

I’ve got this list of all of these different places that I would like to visit when I have the means and sometimes I allow myself to just sit and daydream for hours about what each new location would hold.

I think about the beautiful sights that I will meet and the beautiful people that will be there. I think about the people that might have lived there before and the people that will live there again and imagine how even the tiniest, remotest of places in the world could hold so much importance without ever being seen.

Any of you ever wish to go somewhere?

Someplace that you have been homesick for without even seeing it?

Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

^^^^ So True. I find it so easy to coexist with strangers. To go up in front of somebody you don’t know and completely be yourself is easy but with people you know you will meet again its impossible to not fear the impression you might leave. With people I know I am always careful of what I am doing, remembering to never make an mistakes. 

But who can ever belong with a stranger, you can only belong with your friends. To my friends I am a stranger because they don’t know who I really am. To any stranger, no matter what true version of myself I show, I will always be just a stranger.

I am a stranger and I always will be.

I would never be part of anything. I would never really belong anywhere, and I knew it, and all my life would be the same, trying to belong, and failing. Always something would go wrong. I am a stranger and I always will be.

Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.
