Eric and I watched a movie last night. We watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I struggled with it at first, but then as we went on I got more and more involved, but by the time it was over I felt sad and empty. It goes back to the feeling of being unimportant and meaningless. I know I have a purpose to raise my kids, but I have a deep longing to sell it all and GO. I want to go breathe the air of places I have never seen. There was a "click" in Walter Mitty that I get. I am, in some ways, Walter Mitty. I won't ever be able to go and see those things. I am stuck doing an unknown and underappreciated job in the basement of life. I earn nothing or enough to survive and I am held under a thumb. I want to break free and skate board in Iceland (boy would I bust my hiney on that, but it's the idea....KWIM?) I'm not sure I even want to go with my husband. I liked the part where he was writing in the travel journal and it said, "I am alone." Walter found what he was looking for. He found that inner part of himself that was going to live. I just wish I could.
