Leaving

Leaving. Some could define leaving as physically going from one point to another, others mentally traveling to a corner in their head that no one can see. Leaving from here drives the traveler right back to where they started. Be it emotional, physical, or family problems, we all "leave" in many different levels and stages in our lives. Some run to get away from troubles, then find the troubles in another form further up the road. Others travel yonder with the mindset of hope, and a will to succeed. These people have stared adversity down in the eye and burned the retinas clean out. Not afraid to put in some extra effort with the intention of pure success, these people have a stance in life that others could only have the sweetest dreams that conjure up in their heads to think about. These are the ones who can actually "leave." The ones who can put troubles behind, and use defeats simply as a motive to strive harder in the right direction. I plan to "leave" one day, in the idea of moving for change and further inspiration for music and life. But, will this journey prove to be all that is seems to be? I have always looked at my leaving as my form of escape from the life around my house, which isn't bad, don't get me wrong. The escape I seek is an adventure that many get to take, but do not realize that they are on it until it has passed the by. Will I be changed by my voyage? Will it prove to be all I thought it could be? In my head this stay in a new place seems ever so right. It seems as if nothing could possibly go wrong while residing there. I have always heard "The grass isn't always greener on the other side," but what if my some miraculous twist of fate, that the grass I move to, will be greener. Could it be possible that I might break the simple rule that my father has always spoke of? While some have over come giant obstacles in life to become impeccable people, and while others succumb to the face of adversity, I hope that my journey will prove to take the better path. I do not claim that my life has been filled with the troubles of twelve men, but I have shared my days of mourning for horrific losses in life.
