slow down you crazy child, take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile..

So call me crazy but I think packing is one of the best parts of taking off. Everything you need and more, sprawled across the bed, desperately trying to anticipate what you will actually need and what, in your frantic state of gatherings, have just mindlessly thrown onto the pile. Your mind wanders to all the places you'll see and adventures you'll have. You compile all sorts of scenarios in which you could possibly desire this article or that, oblivious and content with the fact that your destination and experiences will turn out absolutely nothing like you've imagined. In the end you decide to just go with it and try your best to accommodate your future self.
