I don't know what it is lately, but I have a real desire to travel. I've always admired those who have, but never had the gutts to do it myself.

I feel very restless at the moment and I think JAE highlighted some important traits within me. I really loved just chilling in the field, listening to music, talking to people and felt totally comfortable. Even taking time out by myself for the occasional half hour felt really good.

I always used to be afraid of my own company. Sounds silly doesn't it? If I explain it means that when you're on your own, you feel unsettled, anxious and looking for some kind of company (constantly having music / tv / some noise in the background) or things to do, then you might understand.

I was terrible for this and the thought of being alone for a day would play on my mind for a bit. Not anymore.

I'm not exactly sure [i]what[/i] has changed and made me feel like this. Maybe it's age? I turned 26 this year and I feel I've been through several things in recent years that have opened my eyes. Matured a bit maybe?

I actually look forward to having time alone now. A place I never thought I would be. I enjoy not [i]having[/i] to talk to anyone, quietness and time for my thoughts. Makes me sound a bit like a hermit, but I'm far from it. Just need a day or two in the week where I can relax and not have to do anything if I don't want to.

I've been giving this some thought recently. A bit of life-laundry if you will (to quote a another member's phrase).

Buying Murray was one of the best things I did this year. Some will never understand how having such a car that you love driving gives you an air of freedom. I'm considering buying a cheapo tent and driving to Cornwall one weekend for time to myself. Just pitching up, chilling out and gazing at the stars in the evening.

It's shooting-star season late August and I always make a special effort to watch them. Reminds me of camping with my family during the summer holidays and lying on the grass with all my cousins in the pitch black field. Very fond memories.

A good friend of mine has given me the motivation to do this and opened my eyes to a few things. Something I'll never forget.
