All I want to do with my life right now is ride my bike everywhere in the United States and Canada and maybe even mexico.

My only vehicle is a small motorcycle and I have to ride every day no matter the weather, when it's broken down and I can't ride I can't sleep and I'll sit on it in the garage imagining riding it.

I'm planning a ride from TX to CO with my best friend in the next month and I'm pretty sure I won't want to go back to my life in TX, but I'm going to run out of money eventually, fairly quickly actually.

I had like an epiphany on mushrooms a few weekends ago, I was standing next to my bike and thought, "There's a guy sleeping in the White House right now and billions of people give a fuck that he exists, there's a fat kid in North Korea with millions of people breaking their backs just to make him happy, and all I want to do is ride my bike, why is that so much to ask of this world? I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to feel completely free."

And now I can't stop thinking about it. I'm 20 with no education past highschool , no relationship and no skills, and a shitty job, there are mountains, deserts, forests, swamps, magical places and people to see out there, and I feel like I'm stuck here with nothing to look forward to but clocking in to work and getting wasted on the weekends for the rest of my youth until I find a wife and pop out some kids and grow old. I'm not sure i want to keep living if this is what life is.

I don't know if this makes me a bum or if this is something I'm supposed to do to find myself.

    Not much different than what Forrest Gump did.
    Run Forrest run

    A capitalistic country is not a great place for that type of lifestyle. Lots of people don't love working, but feel a responsibility to support their needs. I wish we had left a few states alone for theNative Americans to continue their lifestyle, and then people would have the choice to see if the Indians would allow them to join them in their way of life. Perhaps you would be riding a horse instead.

    You don't have to live a generic life. You can ride. I would admire anyone who does that with their life. I became a stripper so I could get a Harley! So what !

      Yeah I'm pretty much ready for it I'm just still a little apprehensive about poverty and homelessness, I'll run out of cash in a month at best.

        Better to have spent your money than die and not spend it.
