Today, October 26th, with just 5 thousand dollars in my pockets I decided to just walked out of my life forever. I decided that recently I got bored with my life. There is nothing interesting anymore for me to do. So, I decided to do something crazy for once in my life and just keep walking and walking until I reach my destination, which is the state of California where I always wanted to go. Unfortunately I don't own a car so, I guess I will just have to keep walking and walking until I see the famous mountain side with the drilled heads on it. There is also another option for me by taking an airplane but that's too far expensive for me If I wanna reach Cali with just 5 thousand dollars in my pockets. So, since I live in New Jersey and I have a lot of relatives and friends along the way I decided that it would be a very cool thing for me to do- just walking to California on my 2 small feet without using any transportation along the way even if I am capable of.
I decided to leave my house as early as possible. So, I probably would leave it around like 6 am in the morning. First days definitely are going to be very hard for me because I will have to get use to the idea of walking such very long distances. My best friend Natalie lives in Colorado, so probably it would like take me first few months to reach her. I haven't seen her in ages. We used to be best friends since like first grade. Recently she got happily married and moved to Colorado with her husband and his family. They are all love living in the west.
What sucks about this whole thing is that I haven't got a laptop so how am I going to go online and check news. By the way I am a news freak lol. I guess I will just have to ask people along the way how are the things going out in the world. Yesterday I dropped my cell phone by mistake into a pothole (there was a construction work and unfortunately it was opened all the way). So, I guess I cannot even call anybody. I cannot even call my best friend when I am planning to reach Colorado. I have no idea what I am going to do. I know that I can get one, but I don't want to spend my money on things such as a cell phone for example because along the way I also have to pay for food and for hotel rooms if I don't want to sleep outsider, and by the way it would very hard for me to pay my cell phone bills.
So, I am also done packing. I am just taking a little backpack with me so, I don't have to carry a lot of stuff around with me. My family thinks I am nuts to do a thing like that, but they don't care anymore since my decision is final. They were trying to change my mind for like 2 months already but I just turned off my ears every single time they wanted to talk about it. I mean it is my own life. It is not like they are not going to see me anymore. Once I get a job and settle down anyplace in California I am sure I will not forget to invite them.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MY LIFE. I JUST WANTED TO GO TO CALIFORNIA. I THINK THAT I AM DESTINED TO JUST LIVE THERE. SINCE I WAS LITTLE I WAS ALWAYS DREAMING OF ONE DAY OF JUST MOVING TO THE WEST COAST AND STARTING A WHOLE NEW LIFE OUT THERE. WHO KNOWS MAYBE EVENTUALLY I WILL FIND MY OTHER HALF- MY BOYFRIEND AND I WILL HAPPILY GET MARRIED OR WHO KNOWS MAYBE I WILL START MY OWN BUSINESS OR SOMETHING. I JUST WANT TO CHANGE MY LIFE. I DON'T EVEN CARE ANYMORE HOW AM I GOING TO DO IT, BUT I AM SURE 100 % THAT I WILL DO IT. WHAT ELSE CAN I TELL YOU THAT ONE DAY I JUST WOKE UP AND SAID TO MYSELF OK, KAROLINA DO TOMORROW, OCTOBER 26 TH YOU ARE JUST WALKING OUT OF YOUR LIFE . YOU ARE DEFINITELY ARE GOING TO WALK TO CALI NO MATTER HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO TAKE ME.
November: I will spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt and Uncle, who live in Virginia
December: I will spend Christmas probably with my cousin Megan in South Carolina.
April: I will spend Easter holidays probably somewhere along the way.
June or July: Planning on reaching my best friend Natalie in Colorado (or even later along the way)

I really liked your post, Karolina. I can understand about feeling like you were born to live somewhere. No matter where I go (and I have lived in Chicago, Seattle, Nashville, New York, and now New Jersey), I still feel like and see myself as a Westerner. Colorado, mountain air, a different view -- I don't know. It's just in my blood somehow.
