So Much More

I didn't come from a family that likes to travel. I think my dad traveled a little by spending time in the military and as far as I know my mom didn't do much so it was never a big thing for us. We used to go on family trips but they were mostly to the beach in Florida. I do remember going to a family reunion in Ohio when I was younger. I don't remember much about the trip except for driving through some mountains and crying because I didn't get the toy I wanted on my first ever visit to Toys R Us. I remember my older sister moved to Miami when I was sixteen and I couldn't imagine much outside of Valdosta, Ga because that was pretty much all I knew. I went to visit my sister when I was nineteen and it opened my eyes and I realized the world was so much more than what I had seen. I went to New York City a few times and I was amazed at how different it was but it was dope and I actually wanted to move there for a while. This year I've been to Orlando, Houston and Savannah and I've got a few more trips I'd like to take but I just want to see the world. You can visit anywhere through reading or looking at a website but that doesn't compare to actually being there. How many people actually get to go see the beauty that God created for us to enjoy? I think that's one of the biggest injustices ever. Most people will never get to see these things. I know not everyone can afford to travel like that and I really can't either. They'll be confined to whatever radius they've been used to while there's an amazing and phenomenal world out there that was made for our enjoyment. I wish everybody could go somewhere at least once that takes half a day to get there. I wonder how that would change things for this world. If people were able to see there's more out there how would that change their thought process? Would they want to do better because they knew it was more out there or even if they didn't want to do better at least they knew they had the choice to be able to.
