Breakaway

Countless times I've wished that I could break away from this monotonous life. To go somewhere adventurous, thrilling and out of ordinary, anywhere but here. My life right now is too predictable, like I can know what I will do on each day. If I'm not pushing some papers, I'm dealing with little pesky things. If nothing to mull around, then I don't know where to go next. Wouldn't it be great if there's a portal, or another dimension where I could just leap into and be in something that can be called anything but ordinary?
There's a story where a bunch of chosen people are brought to the future and shown what their world would be like, unless they do something in their present. And every time they are called and gone on this journey, it's probable that they might not come back. This kind of uncertainty adds to the rush and excitement, which I am so lacking right now. The only stimulation I can feel excited right now is counting days to the next payday.
Another story is about a boy who found a magic mirror and brought it back home. I watched this movie years ago on TV3, at that time was one of its good-quality Cerekarama. This unfortunate boy had a family who never considered him as part of the family at all and they treated him badly. He discovered one day that he could go through the mirror and meet his family on the other side too. And they were the total opposite of his real world family. To cut the story short, after he couldn't take it anymore with his real family he went again to the other side and smashed the mirror, staying for good.
No, I'm not saying that I too want to run away from my family. I wouldn't trade anything for my family. All I'm saying is that if I could turn around this boring life of mine, I'd do it in a flash. You can call me ungrateful and whatnot for acting like this life that God has given me means nothing to me. But I'm entitled to live more than now, to be greater and fuller.
You know what, I'm really fascinated by the world of Middle-earth. Yes, it's rough and dangerous and full of weird creatures, but at least there might not be a single dull moment for a person to lull around, yeah?
