Is it normal for me to want my life to be a real adventure?
I don't know if anybody feels this way, but the other day it just kind of hit me -- that life is so boring, so predictable. Is it normal to want more? Like an honest to god adventure. I feel so foolish wondering this, but I just need to know if anybody else wishes their life was something straight out of a movie. Like being in sword fights in Victorian England, or being on the run after escaping a prison. I sound so childish right now but the feeling has been nagging at me for days. Does anyone else feel like they want their life to be something exciting? I can't accept that everyone in the world is just going to school, getting a job, getting a promotion, dying, in some kind of clockwork frenzy. I know that none of what I wish for is actually possible, since most of it takes place in bygone eras (Speaking of which -- is there any romance left in the 21st century?), but it doesn't stop me from thinking that, if I can never actually be a pirate or rob a bank or ride off into the sunset, at least maybe I can know that I'm not some sort of freak for wishing for it. Or maybe I am, I actually won't know until someone responds :)
