Into a wild rolling stone

After a long time of not actually sitting and writing I´ve decided that It´s important to get back on that track. I recently downloaded ¨Into the wild¨ (2007) and saw it last night. It made me feel like I had to immediately write what has been the progress of my trail. Since last post I only wrote that I would make a big change in my life soon but I never went into specifics; well, I bought myself a ticket to Narita Japan departing January 2009. I have been an English teacher for 4 years now and just recently mastered the art of teaching Spanish to foreigners. It´s a very rewarding job to actually help someone else speak their mind and communicate with others. I don’t know what Japan holds for me but I’m anxious to find out. It´s a scary feeling to go somewhere you had never been before and leave behind the people who made you, but it´s also challenging to experience the unknown- it lures- you into making that big step and just jump feet first hoping for the best outcome. That guy in the movie decided to just up and leave and disconnect from his family, I would never do that, because my family always comes first to me, even when they think I´m a stray for leaving home and not following the rules of buying a car, finding a job, owning a house, getting married, raising children, still I decided to travel as a life plan and whatever else falls along into my path is what enriches the experience of just being ¨it¨ for what it is. I told a friend once that I saw myself traveling at the age of 30 because I couldn’t see myself doing all the things I mentioned before, she said: Ok, so that’s how you see yourself at that age. And I said: yeah! So I´ve kept my promise, arranged plans and now that’s what I’m doing. I’m actually becoming my dreams into reality; some people say: ´I want to do this, and that´ and words somehow get suspended in the air, what I did was to catch those floating words and glue them to the ground. This is what Bob Dylan was singing about in his song: ´How does it feel…to be on your own? To be a rolling stone´ … I am that rolling stone and I have met rocks and pebbles of all sizes in different cities and for now I can say that has been totally worth it and I’m sure there’s more to come for where I’m going. I’m sure I will post more input from now on as the date arrives. Until then, I’m outy 5000.
