Reading about wanderlust when you have it but can’t act is “a lot like putting lemon juice in a wound that never heals.” #makesmecry

From J in Seattle:

I was in the shower last night (I think best whilst lathering myself up i guess) and started to think about how I never did what you did and how I wish I had, as I’d always wanted.  Like you, I think Seattle blows.  It has it’s nice points, but it is what it is - wet, dark, boring.  Then I got to thinking about how I’ve been sucked into your book and started thinking about other books like it I’ve read.  Turns out a good portion of the books I’ve ever read over my life were nonfiction about one person on some kind of lone or semi-lone adventure, somewhere.  So I suppose that’s a lot like putting lemon juice in a wound that never heals, reading about other people doing something I always wish i had.
