I want I want I want

At this moment in time, I'm sitting here wondering why I'm in Canada. SCREW CANADA. I want to be in a mud hut somewhere drinking chai, listening to stories being told in a language I absolutely cannot understand, without a single person I know around me. I want to swim in every ocean and sea, and to try eating crickets. I want to live in New Zealand, or a tiny Asian village, or a slum or all of them. I want to have nothing but a backpack of things I suppose I "need" and wander between countries, continents, and cultures. I want to be bold in discovering myself and my faith, I want to meet people I will never meet by staying in one place, I want to experience new things and see new sights. I want to hang-glide, parasail, skydive, and take a trip in a sailboat. I want my life to hurry up so these things can happen, and slow down so I can enjoy them all thoroughly. But right now I want to have a good today, and have a great tomorrow, and be thankful that I can live in a country not ravaged by war, famine, or disease. I have time for these things to happen in my life, I just need to be patient. And overall what I really want is for life to not pass me by, carrying all my regrets of yesterdays where I didn't quite do what I really wanted.
