MidnightMarauder the Nocturnal One's blog: "The Gemini Mind"

I’ve always been curious about the world around me, which can explain my love for travel.....seeing different places, meeting new and exciting people and cultures, doing something different. I guess that’s what separates us from those who are never curious about their surroundings, always staying in one place...you know that ones who never wonder what’s on the other side the bridge..............

As far back as I can remember I always loved crossing bridges, seeing the "other side" to me it meant that I was going somewhere new , leaving the old life behind (even if it was for a lil while). I’ll always welcome change (hmph my resume can explain that better for me...lol). Case in point I recently ran into "the left turn when I should’ve made the right turn" and while she looked good (hell she’ll never stop looking good) but after talking for a minute something dawned on me...it was that she likes where she is, meaning that no matter what she’ll always live in same place, same town, with the same career, looking at the same faces forever.

Now some of you might say "what’s wrong with that"? and there are many things wrong with that thought (depends on which side you stand on). The left side would argue that staying in one place all there lives is an important foundation for the stabilization of family (which I’m all for don’t get me wrong), but there is a huge drawback to that way of thinking.....In a world of change you have chosen to not go along with the changing times, instead you decide to stay in one place where things never change for you in fact everything you do becomes stagnant, your moves become predictable, allowing "others" to change your path of advancement..........then there’s the right side the ones who want to see what’s on the other side, the daring ones who want constant change, growth.....those who don’t want to be oblivious to the world around them, never letting themselves become predictable and controlling their own path of advancement......I fall on the right side of that coin after talking with her I realized that if I had never let her go we’d be in the same state, same city, same county, never knowing what it’s like to see sunrises and sunsets on both sides of the Pacific and the Atlantic and though one day that’ll eventually happen (don’t remind me) I’d rather have been all over the world and then put down roots......having seen things rather than staying in one place for 30+ years then wanting to see places that are not around anymore.

Some people are afraid of what’s on the other side....wanting to stay in "there lil bubble" forever slowly watching their world come crashing down around them especially when it comes to those who can’t let go of their own past and want to do everything in their power to bring you down with them....but I refuse to let anyone but me control which way I go down my path....I’ll fight forever with anyone or anything that wants to see me suffer just cause they get lonely....they’ll end up fighting a losing battle. So for me I’ll always look forward to "crossing bridges" cause if you’re afraid on what’s the "other side" you’ll never see what your life could’ve become.
