Day 70- Turn the Dirt

I send my thoughts to far off destinations

So they may have a chance of finding a place

where they’re far more suited than here.

-Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie

 

When I'm on vacation, even a short vacation like this one, my stress disappears. Which is the point of vacations, really. But since I hold my stress in my stomach and neck, it means that even for the two days I was gone, I noticed an immediate physical improvement.

 

I thought about Casey. I imagined what our lives would have been like if she'd never gotten cancer. But it didn't make me sad or wear me down. I thought about my bills; I forgot to pay one that was due while I was gone, but I didn't really care because there was nothing I could do about it, so why worry?

 

As soon as I got home, though, it hit me again. I'm tired of real life. I want to sell all my belongings and become a park ranger.
