The Thoughts

It seems that for months now I have been thinking about leaving my current employment and heading out on the open road. Not to sound too Kerouac-esque but I think that I need to experience the feeling of having no plans and no physical destination. This trip is both one of mental soundness and solitary reflection. It seems a bold step, even to me, but I feel that if I don't do it now; then when? I will be leaving the job and all that I have ever known being close to my family, my friends, and my life to go out and try to experience something new. Something fascinating that will help me think more clearly on life and what I want and need in the next years. It seems that it would be easy enough to leave but actually buying a ticket to Australia with a one and a half month stop in Fiji was one of the hardest things in my life. Could I really just go? Alone?
