Commercial Break

Traveling is like life's little commercial break. At least, it is for me. There is something surreal about jumping on a plane and x number of hours being in a completely different part of the world, and everything about your life at point A seems to stop. It is a very bizarre thing. But sometimes, I really enjoy traveling, because, unlike real commercials which are usually just annoying and loud and trying to push stuff on you that you don't want or need, travel breaks take me out of life. Sometimes, I really need that, and I wish that the travel could just go on and on. Sometimes it's because the moment is just that great. But sometimes, it's because I am just not strong enough for life. In the end, though, the 'commercial break' always ends, and life starts again, whether I am ready or not. And now I am thinking about remotes, and pause and play buttons, which is just mixing analogies, and that is never a good thing. And even if you could fast forward, rewind, pause, or play life, I think it wouldn't make us any happier. I think we'd miss out on a lot. So, I guess I will just settle for life's little commercial breaks instead.
