I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
It's funny how receiving something as seemingly innocuous as a card in the mail could awaken such a fierce bout of wanderlust. However, when one takes into account that the card in question is the ISIC [International Student Identity Card] card; a card specifically designed for students looking to hop on the nearest flight out of the country... I think sudden onset wanderlust becomes a bit more understandable.
Being grounded is a horrible feeling for a wanderer. One must constantly remind themselves that the situation is temporary. That when the time comes, they will simply slip away for an undetermined possibly permanent amount of time.
Until then the soul must be satisfied with songs about wandering and movies about freedom. Restless, but calm in the knowledge that soon enough its chance will come as well.

You just summed up pretty much how I feel but in a much more articulate way.
Wow, thanks
Oooo, that's exciting. A student wanderer card eh? You'll be up and wandering again soon enough. :]
