I'm A Free Spirit... Stuck In An Invisible Cage
So currently I am riding home from the movies. I saw "Julie and Julia"... or "Julia and Julie", I can't remember the order. In either case, my mom is driving and we have the convertible top down and it is lightening all around us. It's quite amusing. I am sitting here listening to Eric Hutchinson's "Rock and Roll" and listening to the lyrics made me realize that I am a free spirit caged into reality. I want to "rock when i want to rock", i want to "roll when I want to roll", if i want to "stay i want to stay", and if i want to "go, i want to go". It's not about money at all, yet it is. It's more responsibility than anything. I feel like I am tied down to a pointless future right now. I want to travel, be free, not answer to anyone. I don't want to have to ask permission to go to California, Maine, France or Aruba from someone who pays me. I know this is what most people say... but to me it's a passion. I believe time and a million times more important than money I believe if you want to live a happy, fulfilling life on a blue collar income... you can. I may be a young, naive, 21 year old boy... but if you can't dream... dreams can't come true. I don't know how I will manage to live freely with out being tied down... but I know I will... I'm determined. You will see :) Live is worth living... don't waste it working your life away.
