Restless

Only once the day has arrived when I wave and hug goodbye to friends and family and pull my car door closed to begin a new adventure do I realize just how very restless I am. (That’s not a run-on sentence, by the way.)

It’s true. Often I argue with myself on how I want to settle, work, begin a family, raise a brood, purchase an aquatic vehicle, and tuck my striped polo shirt into my khaki shorts until I have a heart attack in my sleep, like any normal American. But the louder, more convincing side says it’d rather move around a bunch more, find someone who isn’t afraid to buy a camper and live on the side of the road for the next fifteen years, and have fun doing things most people skip or miss out on entirely. Where’s the rule that says I need to be boring as soon as possible?

So yeah. That’s my “In a strange parking lot in another state with all my belongings currently in my car” rant. I’m ready to have fun and do things I can’t do when I have a regular job, but I need one soon if I wish to stay un-homeless.

Those guys do make a ton of money, though…

One response to “Restless”

  1. So that mindset puts me squarely in the ‘boring’ catagory. Get the pun! I must say one of my axioms of life now; Boring people get bored. Life is never boring when you have a place and purpose, God’s presence thru body life/church life/family life, and a bit of time to reflect on the awesome gifts surrounding us everyday. I must ask you who gets served in the wandering life, a potential series of vacuous experiences without the context of a community of relationships. I have traversed the planet literally many times and I have found my since of aloneness is magnified by these experiences. That is why I have downplayed my wanderings when with others who are stationary. I look for ways to connect to people more because I have such strong hermit tendencies. I am not sure you understand that kind of mind but I have worked for decades to break free of my wiring limits. Math-U-See was one of those efforts actually.

    I look forward to seeing you regularly, rekindling a relationship whereby I can serve you as God reveals what is next in the story of your life. Excited to have you in the area. Regards, Forrest H. – like you would not know which Forrest it is. Drive safe please!
