Swing Sets
So I was asked how I came up with the idea to travel and pretty much do nothing for 4 months and the answer came to me while i was in a park today, doing something i haven't done in years. Swinging on a swing set. I mean i've been on a swing set and i've kinda swung a little bit but today for like 20 minutes i really swung and it made me feel like a kid all over again then it hit me, I wanna feel something again. I came here with no backup plan, no safety net, and really putting off some major decisions in my life so i could feel something i haven't felt since i was probably 9 years old, careless. Not in the sense that i dont care about anything because i do. i care about my family and friends, i care about the people in Charlotte that are living there lives, i care about my teammates here and in Charlotte. But i mean it in the sense that a kid understands the world. They live for the moment and do what makes them feel good and aren't worried about tomorrow. I need that one more time before i take on the responsibility and consequence-full life of the college graduated, working man, with bills to pay and responsibilities and countless other things that every person must one day face. im excited to do those things and will do my very best at them when i really begin to do them but first.... I just wanna swing.

Sometimes I swing (at OLA none the less) with my kids and I know just what you mean... and I have the mortgage, bills and full-time job. What you are doing is amazing and I hope you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteMichael, That is one of the most carefree things I have done in my adult life is to swing on a swingset, so whenever I find one I think will hold my adult weight, I swing! :) I'm glad you are playing...and remember this, we do not quit playing because we grow old; we grow old because we quit playing! (paraphrased) Love ya!
