Travelling by train to an excursion several weeks ago, I was asked by classmates about my plans for the next few years (relevant to an assignment). When I told them I saw myself in the United States, Canada or the UK in four years time, it felt as though I was jumped on with requests for explanation.
Really, in what world does a desire to travel/live overseas for an indefinite extended period mean "Don't you like it here?" is a sensible question. Okay, okay, I can see some logic to that question but it still annoys me to be expected to explain myself as if it is somehow bizarre to want to leave the country.
I don't hate it here but I have always wanted to travel and see other places *resists temptation to segue into Star Trek opening monologue*.
Oh, and I am annoyed with myself for being tongue-tied as always in my defence and for keeping silent on the most important reason for those particular in that particular time frame to avoid further judgement.
