I've got an itch...

I think school is junk sometimes. I am so ready to get out. It's not that I don't enjoy school, because really, learning is great... when I'm actually learning. I think one of my classes meets that requirement. Boo. The rest of the time I find myself drowning in books of my own choice.. Dreaming about places.. Thinking about people.. Fantasizing about the world.. Desiring to meet people that don't all look like me, talk like me, act like me. I am just ready to go. And the worst part, the only one other than my Creator who knows about this.. is this blog. This silly blog. Who am I anyways?! I would have never thought that a blog would be something I so diligently vented to day after day. It is the keeper of all my secrets and all my desires.. Yet, anyone can read, anyone can be a part of it. I guess that's the best part.. But, who will join me? Who will take my hand in this journey and escape this reality with me? I am ready for God to give me someone to go with.. I just want to be able, at the end of the day, to pour out my joy and excitement for the world, and wake up the next day and make it a reality with him.

Some sappy love story.. it's true. But that's what life is. I am ready to journey. Heck, I want to try new things. I want to backpack. I want to camp. I want to eat things I've never seen or heard of. I want to be frustrated because I can't understand languages around me. I want to be disgusted at smells of poorly cared for villages. I want to cook dinner for a family. I want to hug a dying child and tell them there is still hope. I want to teach a mother and father how to love, because it's all they have left to give. I want to give away my last material possession to a girl my own age. I want to live outside. I want to walk barefoot. I want to be with my soulmate... and even more, I want to seek the Maker of the universe and tell Him more.

I want to go.

Lord, please let these words never become simply words, but let them spur me into greater passions and greater wisdom of You.
