What's a Girl to Do? Grab a Bike & Wander!

I have a lot of free time. And when I say a lot, I mean that I only have one day out of the week that I have obligations. The rest of the week I spend most of my time forcing myself to get up and get out of this place. My only outlet, I have found, is taking a bike and riding around the trails and town.

During one of my "get up & out" days I was waiting around for a bus and started reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, (before you judge me, it was free in the "Stanza" app on my iphone and that is all I had with me at the time. So, yeah.) Besides the fact that I learned that it is almost line for line as the disney classic, I thought about who Alice is. Alice acts and speaks like a child, but one thing that you cannot get past is that she has no inhibitions. She does what she very well pleases, with no worries or considerations of the unknown. Some people see it as careless and selfish, myself however, I see it as courageous.

I think of the simple things like riding around the Pourtales park and thinking "should I go this way or not? I might get lost and will not find my way back." And here is a character who follows something and doesn't look back, it doesn't cross her mind that maybe she will not be able to get back. She just goes.

It's easy to get stuck here in the chateau, it's like a black hole and you can't get out. I need to do more and see more and ask less questions about where I'm going and more about what will I see! The best way to find something is by getting lost. We should all be a bit more like Alice, let our inhibitions go and go which ever way we please.
