A Different Life

As much as I wanted the shower to finally smell normal again, I really didn't want to leave the wilderness. I had begun to form a bond with its ways and it pains me now to return back to a life shortened by stress. It's a fake reality we live in unfortunately. We all were tricked into being weaned on this sort of life that just doesn't make sense. Obligations, responsibility, decisions, money- all these things are actually pointless choices. You should be able to feel constantly at ease in life and I'm afraid that just isn't possible with all these empty words hovering in the atmosphere. Everyone should try living in the wild at least once to know what I'm talking about. Because the wild, when properly prepared for it, is a forgiving and cleansing thing. Once you spend a few days out there you begin to hear it breathe and speak as you do. It's a very interesting experience. I long to return there, now as we rubber tramp our way home, to regain the piece of me that was forcefully left behind. The missing piece of me that will forever stay locked within the wooden confines of the wild.
