Ever get this feeling...

<p>When I read a really good and emotional book or watch some TV like ones about africa or traveling around the world, I always get this feeling… it’s like a feeling of awe, excitement, happiness and a bunch of other things twisted together… and then I feel the world is such a great place and I want to travel all around the world and meet every single person on Earth, speak all the languages, live everywhere and read every book there is… and then a feeling of sadness and realization comes when I realize that’s not possible and I feel really dissappointed and stuff. It’s really weird and hard to discribe. And I just feel I need to express it. can’t contain it in.</p>

<p>so does anyone else ever get this feeling…?</p>

<p>Yes. Watching or reading about all these different places and people (such as in National Geographic) made me realize how wide and beautiful the world is and that there’re possibilities. My dad always called me naive because I explained I wanted to travel around the world some day, perhaps I might land in a career that relates to this (perhaps becoming an international journalist?) But I trust that it is not impossible. After all, there’re people who’ve traveled all over the world. Why should you be an exception if you really want to do it? I’m sure it depends on how you carry forward your goals.</p>

<p>You mean a feeling that the world is basically a good and beautiful place?</p>

<p>I get that every morning when I go out and pick up the paper while the sun is rising. It’s lovely.</p>

<p>I get that feeling too</p>

<p>and then I realize there is much more work to be done.</p>

<p>Pitch forks and lanterns, anyone?</p>
