Just let me go already?! | When people hold you back

Why is it that when you want to do something, someone always holds you back?

Picture this:

You have a new job, earning more money than you ever though you would and have found new passion for unusual things. Things, that are new to you and things that seem exciting. Like travelling, fancy cheese and ornate mug collecting. And so, you decide that you want to travel and discover ''All things French" from the humble baguette to the iconic fêtes this ''shabby-chic'' totty nosed country feels all the more desirable and all so right. Perhaps you'll find a well groomed Frenchman who speaks with a slight gruff and has wooingly admiring slurrs of "ooooo" ofter every single word.



Or maybe not. Because, somebody keeps saying ''I don't think its a good idea''. Or perhaps its more of a "What if you get lost and end up getting gang raped in a Camembert ridden alley way".




As you can tell it recently occured to me that people don't like others to have fun, live their life, go to amazing places or have any enjoyment whatsoever. Could be jelousy, could be the fact that they are "life suckingingly boring" or maybe their one of those people who are too scared to even drive out of their own town - come on?

I think its very important to do things that you find interesting and exciting, go to the places you want to go and do the things that you want to do. I know your thinking "what about money?". There is always the option to buy a plane ticket, find somewhere to stay and go work there for a little while - you'd earn money while meeting new people, learning a new language and all in a whole new and exciting place. If people don't like it stuff them, or make sure you take a rape alarm to keep them happy.

If money is that big a problem, there are companies out there that give grants to young, interestings folk. Being an art student I looked into organisations who do this kinda thing, you can have a look yourself here.

Traveling has already made up a big part of my life, and I intend to keep it that way! Don't let others get in the way, its your life mind?!

Will you follow in my footsteps? | Where your going next and what exciting things do you plan to do?
