The 'Real World'?

I'm sure that all traveller's who are on the road for a long time experience what I'm going through. And, I'm pretty sure that what I'm feeling right now is nothing special, but still, it's causing some unrest these days. I'm a bit distant in conversations and people are starting to notice. What can I say? Something is on my mind.

After spending an amazing month out in Arizona and the great Southwest, I'm catching a red-eye flight back to the east coast. Is the dream life coming to a close? Should I get an apartment and a job and slip back into the 9am-5pm reality that's almost expected of me? Or should I throw it all in storage and keep on moving down the road with the few possessions that I have in my bag and create more memories? What is the 'real world' after all? What is success? Is it going to work, buying a home, building a family? Or is it building memories and friendships while trying to see it all? Don't most people on their death bed wish that they had seen more of this world?

I guess it's true, the hardest thing in this world is to have a choice........and these are the questions that face me now at this junction in my life.

More later.......
