These are not places I have been. Nor are they places I am going. I did not place these pins.
What they are, perhaps, is a representation of places I’ve once considered living. Both far and wide.
It’s a beautiful thing to be able to do this parlor trick, where I can see myself anywhere in the world, but it is also quite sad when I realize how many I’ll never see. How large and vast the globe is.
I guess I’ll keep placing my pins and hope this problem solves itself.
I like this image and idea–i want some specifics, details, like I’ll never drink tea by the Ganges, but I’ve put a pin right there–next to some Yogi that’s attracting tourists with his yoga pose…
make the details specific to your form of longing
Do you have an image you can also add to post? maybe different (maybe a gallery of images of places that your story hints at with its details–a cool way to use a gallery; –and it will also show up in your individual post.
