Getting Out

I hate when people say they just want out. They just want to get out of this town and move to some big city with big plans. I mean sure go for it, but they don't realize how alone they'll be. I mean you're leaving everyone behind. I have always had a problem with people telling me that this is a boring town, because my friends and I, although not always satisfied with this town, always had a good time, always have a good time, always make our own fun.
I have never intended to just get out of this state. I mean I have BIG plans but I have never hated this town. I love that I grew up here. It's beautiful and full of opportunity but...
There's always a but right?

But I don't want to end up like a lot of the teachers I meet. I mean there is nothing wrong with being a teacher, because that's noble, but so many of them graduated from the same high school they now teach at. They grew up in the next district over or down the street. They have seen this town grow and mature and that's nice and all but I don't to base my life in one town. I mean my foundation is here, it always will be. But that doesn't mean I have to be.
The state of Kentucky, and I'm sure many other states as well, have ways of convincing students to stay in the state. You can't use Keaas money if you go to an out of state college, you can pay a certain tuition for staying in your state and I mean, I get wanting educated people to stay in the commonwealth but its almost limiting.

Wait, this isn't even the point. This is:
I want out. Just for awhile. Just for a week even. Just to live a totally different lifestyle for a week in a totally different place. I want to go away and have an adventure and come back and appreciate my life here so much more. I want to go away and experience the world so that when I return here, I have an understanding on what I want. Because right now I'm sixteen and a junior in high school and I don't know. I don't know what I want except I know I want to be used by God. If He keeps me here forever then I know it will be a lovely forever, exciting and I will enjoy every second, but He is gonna have to tell me that...

But I don't think that's what He wants. I just need a better understanding of this small world. I am sixteen and I have traveled, I have been in big cities, but that's not the experience I'm talking about. I don't know.
Sorry folks, now I sound like one of those people I was talking about earlier. Oh well.
Hey, Might as well see where God takes me.
