subject: Go for a Journey [print this page] Go for a Journey Go for a Journey
I decided to resign to make my dream come true. I have a dream when I was young. I wanted to travel around the world with my camera. It was my 11th birthday gift. I was so happy to get it from my father. Now the camera was too old to go to the journey with me. And I could not quit my family to travel around the world. I just want to have a long trip to find what I need.
These years I was busing in hunting a job and working hard to earn more prizes. But I was unhappy with my work. I was too busy to do what I like. I had no time to play with my friends. I had no time to watch a movie. I even had no time to sleep a whole day. I nearly lost my dream to travel around the world. I even could not remember how long I did not make a photo for myself.
It was the time to make a change. I needed some fresh air. I needed to go out to find what I need. I was not satisfied about the lifestyle I lived in the past years. I was a slave of the work. I was not me when sitting in the office. I needed to think about what I really want.
I picked up my old camera and found that it was too old to go with me. I was so familiar with it in the past years. It was the last gift from my father. After my parents divorced, I never got a gift from them. My mother left home on one Monday morning. She never came back. My father was drunk in those days. I did not know what to do. I cried on the top of the hill alone.
I became sad in those years. I did not smile in those years. I refused to talk with others. I only played with my toy and little camera. I made hundreds of photos those years. But I did not develop one because I thought none of them was the one I wanted.
I studied hard to forget the bad memories. My farther and I never talked about my mother from then on. We tried to live normally as usual. But we never talked about the dreams like before. And we never went a journey from then on.
Recently, I found the work was not I wanted. I was tired of the life. I can not stand it any more. I wanted to make some changes for myself. I wanted to be myself. I talked with my farther about the journey. He was so happy that I could make a decision to be myself. He held me in his powerful arms. It had been ten years that we embraced with each other. It had been ten years we laughed together.
We talked a lot about where I should go for a journey. He suggested me go to Paris for a journey. I preferred to go to Tibet China to pure my mind. I heard that the palace is full of mystery. My friend told me that every one would get rid of their worries and hates when visiting the place. And she said that you will be a completely new person after visiting it.
But my farther suggested I go there next time since the winter is coming. He thought I was not strong enough to visit there in winter. It was very dangerous to stay on the plateau when got a cold. I always got a cold in the cold winter. So we had to find another place to begin my journey. Finally, I chose Australia to go for my journey.
My farter bought a camera on http://www.dinodirect.com/camcorders/ for me as a gift. He wanted me to record the new start. He wanted to keep the sweet memories for me. I knew he loved me as ten years before. Both of us need start a new life. Just be yourself and enjoy the life.
