The Beginning of Goodbye
Well, it's probably official (I know that's a contradicting statement)... I'm over being here.
I am a creature of habit, I like being settled-in and comfortable and in a routine - this is true - but once I admit that to myself, I start feeling like a boring, getting-too-old, un-adventurer and I feel the need to move along, to make a big change to find and explore somewhere new.
