Hitchhiking is strange yet somewhat addictive. I can only compare it to fishing. You find a spot, you wait, not really knowing what catch you'll get but knowing that as long as you're patient enough you'll catch something and when you do it's a buzz. And you get going. You make progress on your journey and get to talk to somebody that's usually pretty cool. There's nothing like hitchhiking, because one thing I've learned is that with people often come opportunities. Maybe it's a job, a lasting relationship, a tour of the local area, some handy knowledge, or just meeting more people who may have something to offer themselves. As long as your meeting new people there's no telling where you will go, and I can't think of anything like hitchhiking where you are forced to meet people, and such good people. I was once very anti social and would often sneer towards people but I've been led to believe that as long as you surround yourself with good people you'll live a fruitful life. Stick your middle finger up to the arseholes and a hand out to the good ones that's what I'll say.
There's also this sense of faith on the road. I'm not religious one bit but I always had faith. In what? I couldn't tell you but I always knew that I would get what I need. I always knew I would eat, get rides and find good company. If something didn't go my way I didn't worry nor care because I knew that as long as I embraced the road and took ever opportunity that came my way I would be looked after. It's really strange but it's something every hitchhiker I've met will talk about. Faith. It's a weird thing but it's necessary.
I hope that you all enjoyed my stories and photos and ramblings and I hope that for those of you who have nothing and feel like a nobody that you find solace in the idea of nothingness because anything is better than nothing, so everything you do will be an improvement. It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get so be who you wanna be and don't waste any time
