dude. After I watched In To The wild I literally walked around the city with no shoes on for two weeks.... it was shortly after my dad died and I found it a very inspiring and disturbing story. I knew that I wanted to break out of the confines of city life but at the same time, I was terrified of the consequences. Somehow through life you learn to let the pendulum swing in to various extremes until you find your own personal middle ground: not necessarily a safe option, but a balanced option which feeds your sense of well being and gives you a rich experience of life. Keep on exploring brother! full power! :)
