Tonight we went out for our usual once a week beer (or 2 or 3 times a week, but who's counting). We went downtown to one of our favorite bars and met up with some students for another school. It was cool to mingle with some new people (although I did almost get into a fight with a guy,long story) and drink some delicious Guinness. About half-way through the night a band started to play. There some Sheryl Crow, some Jason Mraz and then they busted out an old school tune from my high school days. "I'm like a bird" by Nelly Furtado. I remember sitting alone in my room in high school daydreaming about what my life would be like when I grew up. I wanted to travel, meet amazing people and just fly away from the tiny little town I was in. 14 years later, I think I think the 16 year old version of me would be pretty proud.
There are still many places I want to see and many things I want to do. I think what motivates me now is the same driving force that fueled my daydreams as a teenager. I want to be free, uncontained...like a bird.
