Open Wide!

Agoraphobia- Fear of open spaces. Fear of leaving a safe place.

          Let me tell you right now, I'm not agoraphobic. I'll take open spaces by the bucket full! There is something about Rexburg that can really make you feel like you are stuck in very small safe place. I would love to just pick up and go travel around the country, but in order to do so that would require me dropping the only night class I have since I'm on my off-track at school, so I have quite the dilemma... Drop my one class so I can travel because I may never again have a chance to in my life, or keep my one class and deal with the commitment I have made although I feel it may not be worth the time spent wasting away in Rexburg.

         Yesterday I decided to try a quick fix by making a small expedition taking pictures of anything and everything that felt BIG AND OPEN AND FREE! Using my car as a tripod for my camera I posed for pictures in a variety of wide open spaces. I thought my trip would be about a 1 hour drive around the area and before I knew what happened I ended up in Wyoming, taking pictures all along the way. I may not be able to travel around the country but at least I got to see some beautiful wide open spaces that reminded me there is a big world outside of Rexburg and maybe someday soon I will make it even further than Wyoming...
