Likely to Roam

I often read star signs at the end of the day out of interest to see how accurate they can be... I look at several, take the average and then evaluate. Today's daily horoscope had definate truth in it...

"Feeling less attached to home, you're more likely now to roam"

It is true that since returning from Chicago I have been different... I feel less attached to Montreal than I did before Christmas. Add to this the fact that my closest friend here is leaving in 2 weeks to return to Germany, and it is safe to say I am in a weird state at the moment.

I have tried explaining it at length to my Polish roommate. It is like I am more detached, and I have this incredible desire to move to the next experience and place in my life. It could be in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in Australia, or even still in North America but at the moment I have this huge desire to roam. All this week I have been looking at different maps, places that I would love to visit.... people whom I would love to catch up with.

I know it is weird for the people around me, as I am usually the person that drives the social activity and interaction. To be honest, since I have returned I have not felt the need to do this - I have really loved maz time - at the movies, in the cafe, on the phone. I guess I have been re-connecting with people and things I have not connected with in ages... and through the disconnection with Montreal, saw this as a good time to foster those relationships.

But its amazing how that line really speaks to me at this point in time...

"Feeling less attached to home, you're more likely now to roam"

I am just figuring out in what way, form, time and means that roaming can be best facilitated.

I feel the same way, without the star signs or being in montreal... its almost a restlessness engendered by the removal from a static situtation, or, every time I leave someplace I've been for awhile, I feel the need to leave again, for a longer period of time, Its like every time I get settled, all I need is the smallest trigger to push me in a new direction towards a new place

I don't know if thats the same as you, but I can definitely outdrink you so get your ass to seattle so I can prove it

In the words of Metallica:

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone
I ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
