The Itch

I find that I am getting "itchy" again - feeling the urge to move on and break free. This is not a new experience or feeling for me, on the contrary, it comes on a regular basis...usually every two years or so. However, I'm a bit surprised that it has popped up now. I've been in NY for not quite a year and a half and in Manhattan for about 8 months. I haven't been at my job for a year yet and I am constantly being thrown new things to do.

All of this makes it odd to me that I feel so antsy and confined (besides the fact that I am living in NYC where there is no end of new things to do). I'm planning my trip to Haiti and am really excited about it, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I'm hoping that the month away will sooth my antsy-ness so I can last another year without going haywire.

Maybe I'll just go and win the lottery and then I can go and volunteer my time in parts unknown...
