Noise in the static/ Notes in the silence


People keep asking me the same old, tired questions: 
"What are you doing now? What do you want to do?" 
I reply: "I want to see the world",
 but still, they persist; 
"What do you want to do after that?"
They talk of marriage, of cars, of finance, of all the details of life before death that punctuate our lives in short sharp bursts
 - isn't life but a fleeting moment?


And the question still stands silent and unanswered:
"What do you want to do after you see the world?"

I want to know why - why then, is it not enough to see the world?
Or more importantly, to live in it?
The earth we live on is so vast, full of wide open spaces both within and without, these places I long to explore and to discover.
In our twenty-first century madness where everything is available at the push of a button on your phone, we still have so much to see.
What do I want to see after I see the world?
I want to see more of it, and I want my eyes to be constantly wide open at the beauty of it all.
