a great perhaps



From my Instagram

 

 

I've lived in the same small town since I was seven years old.

 

Yes, my friends have compared it to Mayberry.

 

We have a post office, a {very} small library, a coffee shop, and a family market.

 

In my town, kids hang out at the ball diamond, or at the ice cream shoppe. About 99% of the teenagers play either softball, or baseball.

 

Everyone knows everyone and their grandpa's cousin's sister's daughter's dog.

 

Sometimes I like living here, and other times I don't. I like that I can walk anywhere that I wish, safely. I like knowing most of the kids in town, even though I don't go to school with them.

 

But sometimes, I feel kind of stuck.

 

Now don't get me wrong, the country/small communities are amazing. But going somewhere where nobody knows you -- or your past -- just holds a certain allure, doesn't it?

 

One day, I am going to travel the world. I want to go to London, Israel, Italy, and Africa. I want to sip coffee in a French cafe, and work at an orphanage in China. I want to see the beautiful earth that God has created, and experience its wonders for myself. I want to seek A Great Perhaps.

 

But for now, I'll settle for a week in Kansas.

 

Bon voyage,
