New friends and new places to see

My biggest dream is to travel and experience the world. Move to different continents, and really understand what is going on outside my peaceful little bubble. Earlier today I was watching Miami Ink, and Ami thought that people can learn a great deal more by experiencing countries, than going to school and study for eight years. I think he is absolutely right, and I would love the opportunity to travel as soon as possible. However, I have been trying to convince my parents to letting me move to the US for one year to study, but they are really stubborn. 

Life is kind of short, and I want to live my life and follow my dreams, what else are we supposed to do with life? I am probably going to end up like everyone else; married, kids, house and go on vacations now and then, but still, I want to do everything I can in my life while I have got the time and freedom. I do not see any reason to maintain where I am for three more years, it will be a waste of time. Also it does not really matter where I am in the world, I will always come back and we are all under the same sky, under the same moon.

"It doesn't matter where it is in the sky or where you are in the world,the moon is never bigger than your thumb."

  Lately I have been almost obsessed with the moon, Venus and Jupiter. I am not entirely sure it was Jupiter I saw early in November, but from November and until now I have seen a very bright star next to the moon. This star is not a start, though, it is the planet Venus. For a while now, I have been completely mesmerized by the moon because it is so bright and enlightens the night. And suddenly I noticed a bright shining star next to it. The two of them together is maybe something of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Especially at dawn. The moon makes me feel safe, like I said, it enlightens the night and shows me the way. Some nights the moon is gone, and suddenly I feel very alone, but when it is up in the sky, all shiny and bright, I instantly feel calm. Safe.

"So tell 'em all I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars
Who could ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me"
