Wether I am exploring, mountain biking, snowboarding etc. I consider that my "real time". The time that goes to quickly, makes all the day to day bullshit tolerable and keeps that spark alive inside you. Work is nothing more than a tool for me to earn money for my next adventure, nothing more. Too often I see the look in other peoples eyes. The look that says what the hell is going on and what the hell am I doing with all my time, the definition of unfulfillment.I try to make wise purchases when I do, so as not to be another consuming lemming jumping off the cliff. I dont ever want to be that person and try to avoid it at all costs. It helps to not take the bullshit too seriously and always make the most of your "real time"

We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed.

Yup, know EXACTLY what you mean. I get a little weird after epic trips and it can definitely be hard to re-adjust.

I do a relaxing vacation every year and coming back from that is hard too, but not in the same way. When you're exploring it can feel like a completely different world because, depending on where you go, you can really start to get the impression that you were visiting a world with no laws where you can do whatever the fuck you want whenever the fuck you want.

Life's a bitch, though, and you always gotta come back to the grind. Sucks.

Vacation in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and you'll get exactly that feeling too matey.

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

I can relate...some what. I used to spend a lot of my down time this year in my favirote place in schenectady. It was a nice long woodsy and the whole site spanned some serious space. It was my sanctuary...I wish i was still in schenectady.

The Misandry around these parts is redonkulous. Sorry I was born with male anatomy.

A shame that for some of us that ultimately leads to us losing our jobs. Oh well, c'est la vi.

I'd be happier in retail anyway.

To me Urbex is an addiction and therefore I treat it as one. Each "fix" is followed by the thoughts of what I'm going to do for my next one. We start out small but progressively move on to bigger and more exciting places, always chasing that first "high" of exploring a new site.
