Can I help it that I have a terminal illness called wanderlust? Symptoms include an insatiable need to explore the unknown and to revisit the known, sharing it with others if at all possible.
I believe it's transmitted through genetics, i.e. it's hereditary. Considering both my parents have this affliction, I'm definitely predisposed. Sometimes, the need to find pieces of my soul, which have been scattered to the ends of the earth, consumes me.
When I've gone and found myself at peace in some foreign destination (domestic or international), I feel partially whole again....for a while. Then the wanderlust resurfaces and I must pursue the cure. I simply must.
