"To see myself in a better mood"

"The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between the lightning and the lightning-bug." ~ Mark Twain

I would love to write something epic, poetic, and earth shattering tonight. Unfortunately, I have neither the energy, nor the way with words. I used to think I was a decent writer. In high school I could write an essay the in the period before it was due and still receive an A. In college my essay grades weren't quite as spectacular, but I assumed it was because I either wrote it with a hangover or that the person who graded it carried some sort of personal vendetta against me. (There seemed to be a lot of self-righteous professors aides at my school.) Never did it cross my mind that it could be just plain bad. Crazy thought, I know. Either way, I have decided that I will most likely never write the great American novel.

Just putting that out there.

"Passing through hallways"

no·mad (nō'mād') n.
A person with no fixed residence who roams about; a wanderer.

Every time I move I get this excited, hopeful feeling in my chest. Just the fact that I am going to a new place, with new people and new experiences waiting for me makes me do cartwheels inside. Maybe this time, this time, I will find what I am looking for. As if I knew what it is. Some people crave love, fame, or power. All people need something to believe in, whether it be a higher power or a scientific truth. So I off I go. And come upon a new place where here, I will find it. But before long, as I realize that I have settled into a routine, I once again get the urge to pull up what roots I have and continue on. My life is a journey. Literally.
