dreams of my past, realities of my future

UGH. Why does it seem like everyone is going overseas? Left and right, people I know are just living the dream that I once had: to travel in Europe. I fantasized about the year that I would spend in London, making a living in the area, learning the accent, and immersing myself in the culture.  I would attend the theatre, dress like only the young English do, keep my hair very short, and relish in the crisp and chilly winter air.  I'd stand in the Ritblat Gallery again, admiring the ancient texts of our Lord, studying the handwriting of Lennon and McCartney, and hearing the sound of Florence Nightingale's voice.

I can still see myself going there one day.  Spending more than a week, more than a month even, in the city.






I shan't go alone though.
No, no.
I wouldn't dream of it.

You down?
