Its December 2013, in 5 months and a day i will be 20. Twenty years old. Just the thought of this, leaving my teenage years behind, is making me question my existence. What have i done with my life? Was it 19 years of nothing? Just going to school and coming back, battling the universal war of homework and TV? Have i done anything worthwhile? I think the answer is no. Although my mother argues that i have acquired knowledge, i don't think that really counts.

But why? This is because of certain limitations, boundaries set by my conservative parents who are in constant fear that i might get kidnapped, raped, sold into slavery or something of that sinister nature. Not that i say it doesn't happen. It does and that is dreadful. I respect their concerns. But some things don't need to be thought of so seriously don't you think? or maybe it should. what do i know , i'm not even 20 yet.

Here's the thing though. i don't want to be the kind of person that sits in the background and cheers . I want to be the person on the field, playing the game. I want to be the quarterback. All my (19 year) life i have been the person sitting in the sidelines, because of these boundaries that were set. That made me shy and too scared to be who I actually wanted to be. I want to be the best in what i do. I want people to be amazed at me. I want my parents to be proud of me. I want to have a job that makes me happy. I want to travel the world and experience new things.I want to make a difference. I dream big. The rest of my family doesn't understand these dreams of mine, so they don't take it seriously. Its quite disheartening actually, but nevertheless I will never give up on my dreams. In all my inexperienced 19 years if i have learned anything, one of it would be to never give up on your dreams. So here i am. aspiring to be the best. Hoping and praying that someday, soon enough, i'll be able to lift my head and smile at the world and say, I made a difference, I achieved my dream.

For those who are thinking, this has NOTHING to do with "Wanderlust". It does. it has everything to do with it. Because travelling the world is by far my biggest dream, and even though its currently a mahoosive luxury that i can't afford, I will be able to , as i said earlier in this post, someday, soon enough .

Thanks for reading! Please leave your comments. Let me know what you guys think! Don't be mean, but be honest! Thanks again! Have an awesome day/night :)

                           The need to travel. the strong urge to just get up, pack my bags and leave is literally consuming me . Its eating me alive. I can feel the cool breeze of speeding car taking me to the airport, the excitement of checking in , the teary goodbye and stepping into the plane. Being able to see the world from high above HAS to be the most amazing feeling ever.

                           Ever since i was at a certain age, say around 14 maybe, that's grade 9  i think, i have always wanted to travel to all the countries in the world i knew of, London, New York, Dubai, Paris, Rome, Spain, Greece... oh i could go on forever! I've always wanted to shop in the biggest shopping mall in the world, take a ride in the longest roller coaster in the world, experience an actual carnival with Ferris wheels and all sorts of carnival games that they show in movies and describe so awesomely in books. Ive always wanted to visit the London train station where they filmed Harry Potter ( Platform 9 3/4 ! ) although i don't think I'll run into a wall and expect it to lead me there. 

                            It really doesnt help living in Sri Lanka. Its definitely home but its not the best entertainment-wise. Movies are either released two months late or not released at all, in which case we have to wait for it to pop up online and mind you, in good quality. The shopping malls here are , well lets just say almost every single person in Colombo at least has been to Majestic City at least 50 times in their lives. Its an alright place for a hangout, but thats just it.

Okay so this is turning out to be a review on Sri Lanka. so i'll stop right there. 

According to someone on Wikipedia,apparently In adolescence , dissatisfaction with the restrictions of home and locality may also fuel the desire to travel.

So there you go, thats my mini rant kind of thing about how much i want to travel. See all the wonderful things around the world that God has graced us with and the things that God has give the knowledge, the intellect to create. 

Hopefully i'll be able to visit half the places i dream of everyday before i die ! fingers crossed! 

Its my first blog post. Dont judge.

cheers xx
