The Travel Bug

_Sometimes you just get it.
That feeling of overwhelming inadequacy. About your job, about your life, about your experiences._
_You wake up, and get ready for work.
But you know there's nothing new about today._
_You head to that new bar in town.
But you know there's nothing exciting about tonight._
_You pick up a new hobby, you think it might be different. You think this is what was exasperating you.
Just lying in the back of your mind._
_But it's not, you know there's something missing_
_You sit in bed, unable to sleep, you ponder constantly, what is it I'm seeking?!
Day in, day out, an endless circle of monotony._
_This feeling, this urge, driving you insane! You feel the colour, and warmth slowly fade away each day, as you struggle to realise what it is you are seeking out._
_You snap out of it!
Suddenly staring out at the ice-capped mountains, standing in awe, a top a frost bitten castle, staring out into a new world, with new experiences and people and cultures, and you think to yourself..._
_This is it.
This is what was missing._

So true! Well written. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your support @buckaroo! I appreciate it!
I literally had chills running through my back as I was reading it, I feel exactly the same about traveling. I want to travel all the time, and I keep checking deals on flights even when we can't go anywhere. Some people are like that, travel souls :)
Absolutely, and the longer you travel the hard it is to re-adjust!
