Jetsetter

I am leaving soon.

What are people supposed to feel moments before they travel? Excitement? Apprehension? Determination? Trepidation? Some combination of all of those?

I’m having trouble deciphering what exactly is coursing through my mind right now. But whatever that feeling I’m feeling is, I know for certain that this is the most awake and aware I’ve been in a long while. Which tells me that maybe this vacation is coming at the right time.

Onward.

Waking up at 8:00AM is a lot less fun when I’m not on vacation.

Is it just me, or does jet lag always seem to extend past time re-adjustment into… i don’t know, life re-adjustment? It’s like home doesn’t quite feel like home just yet. It’s like ‘now’ is the period of time allotted for me to think about how much I miss Europe instead of getting back into the flow of things.

Because man, I miss Europe.

“Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you
You’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?”

“I’m stuck… Does it get easier?”

This is me right now. Life, getting lost in translation.

It’s kind of nice, actually.
