Jamaica Dream

I am sick of saying I'll do things and never do them. Lately all I can think about is getting away from the pressure and hassles of everyday life. It's funny. I've managed to relax more since the book was released. Then when I calmed down I found out how well it was doing. I'm happy but I still need to get away. I've been having Jamaica dreams, wondering if the things that happen in the movies really do come true. It is my dream to live a life of travel. I've always wanted to take some time away and drift to exotic places even if it were just for a few days here and there. I really need a vacation. I long to go off to some romantic place and see what it's like to learn about different lands, submerge myself in different cultures. I plan to take a trip to Jamaica next summer, hopefully. I just hope I can make it. I am tired of being afraid to try something new. I want to get out and experience life more. I've spent years since I finished high school being a workaholic, doing all I could to get published and learn the business. I keep thinking that it is time for me to get some space. I used to travel and enjoy it so much. I haven't had a trip in about three years and it's hard to adjust. I'm not talking about the millions of events authors go to on a regular basis. I want a Jamaica dream. I want to vast in a tropical island just to see if my breath can be taken away. I can't imagine how it feels to just let yourself go and slide into new adventures and just be free. I am so jealous of the women in the films that can just drop everything and hop on a cruise. I've longed to do that for years. I know now I have to make that step or else I won't ever do it. I make a promise to take that trip to Jamaica or somewhere just as nice next summer. It'll be something that's missing. Something that I truly need.
