In my past life, there was lots of talk.
And very. Little. Action.
X constantly spoke of the trips we would take, and how we should go here, do this, experience that...
He hated our "boring" and mundane existence (aka adulthood real life) and constantly sought a new high of excitement.

But choices made took the option of vacation right off the table of reality. Didn't stop his talk though. We had a very isolating, extremely travel-limiting life. Still, even in our separation (which was filled with continued verbal and emotional outbursts/abuse), I was asked repeatedly where I wanted to go on our next (*cough, first, cough*) trip. The answer in my mind was : nowhere with you! But I had stopped responding to the fictional dialogue long before that.
I was sent a link today about our mentality of saving all year to "enjoy a week" of your life on vacation. The dude's well-spoken point is basically that life is what happens when we are living...not vacating. And if you have a wonderful life, maybe you don't desire to escape with such intensity.
For me personally, vacation has been this elusive presence, almost a unicorn that I am just not quite sure exists. But then again, life keeps proving me wrong lately! Content to be in an incredible place I'm not dying to leave anymore.
LIVE. Don't vacate.
