I Tend To Write ( And Think ) A Lot On Planes

The thing I love most about being on a plane is take off. Watching all of your problems - well everything really - become smaller and smaller beneath you. The worries of the world seem to fade away when you're thousands of miles above them. We become so caught up in ourselves and our every day stressors that we forget how vast the world really is; the aerial view from the plane is a great reminder. Any feelings of being alone whether it be in thought, interests, etc. seem challenged when there are billions of people beneath your feet, hustling and bustling in their every day lives.. having the same thoughts, vision clouded by their immediate surroundings. If only they could get to a plane..

Rakim said it best,
"What would you say as the Earth gets further and further away/
Planet as small as balls of clay/
Stray into the Milky Way, world's out of sight/
As far as the eye can see, not even a satellite."

Change your perspective, 

change your life.

Musings: 7/30/2014

today I leave for LA

six days away

surrounded by new vibes + no worries

the need to escape is real

and so is my desire to start anew in an unexplored location

nothing holds me here but family/ friends

associates I rarely see

and nostalgia

and while I love them more than life itself

it's time to spread my wings

I want to meet more people like me

I want to be around the real

love that gives no reason to question, ever
because it exists,

organically grown friendships

nice weather

kind souls

and high windows,

candy colored buildings 

art on the sidewalks

a career that allows me to sit on the airport floor, 

indian style, 

huddled next to an outlet blogging from my laptop 

as I am now.

somewhere just outside of a big city

my own little personal eat pray love

And, as always...
