    I'm trapped by my routine, but I like it.
    It's simple, and it's not about pleasing anyone's unrealistic expectations or demands.
    I could free myself...but why would I want to do a crazy thing like that?

    As of right now, I am completely trapped. Going absolutely no where.
    But I'm okay with it, because I already have future plans, and they're coming up soon.
    I have no intention of my life staying like the way it is now. None at all.

    I feel trapped sometimes. Yet other times I don't care, which make me FEEL free. Yet my dad makes me feel trapped, I can't do anything that disappoints him, without feeling guilty and upset. I hate having to please him, yet he needs me. So I feel like I have to stay in this little box with him. Then school, work, friends.. all enclose me in tighter and tighter.. But only a little while until I am out from my families home

    I feel very trapped and unsatisfied with my professionl life which taked up abut 70% of my time, I would like to make enough money in the next couple of years so that I can me enough from what my money generates in an investment bank, and life away from the city and the habbits it creates in people.

    I feel trapped everyday (mostly in thinkin' about my future), but I got one step beyond stoppin' those things I didn't like, such as my degree... Now I'm doin' nothing, but I'm free of a real burden.

    I feel pretty free, despite school keeps me busy every once in a while. That doesn't make me feel trapped though, I choose this study voluntarily and I want to finish it. However, I can't get off this planet!

    Trapped. Society requires money, so I must work a crappy job to make said money. I think I'll be where I want in a few years though.

    Cold rainy weather traps me and limits me, yet even that makes me appreciate more the warm days when they finally arrive.

    I agree.

    And it's relative believe it or not, to each country town and city.

    Bleh, trapped in all ways imageinable >.< Lol...

    I feel that I could be accomplishing a heck of a lot more if I werent in a state such as the one im in.

    As Loveminx said, age is a big constituent to the whole feeling. Being 14 makes it hard for me to do any of the things I want to do >.>

    People say that you can do what your little heart wishes when youre an adult, and that kids arent ever really sure of what they want to accomplish and what they truly believe.

    I was gonna go on ranting, but...nevermind that xD

    I feel free most of the time. A life of simplicity and light materialism has enabled me to move around alot in my life, so if one situation doesn't feel right, it is easy to pick up and leave. I feel sorry for folks with houses and attics and storage units full of "things", that keep them trapped and feeling heavy and in a rut.


    If you can pick up a backpack, or even pack a car and go, you will find many more open doors, and then if you can set up a tent or sleep in your van , and find shelter with mobility, you can explore the world around you, and feel that you made the choice to be where you are.

    I think the most trapped I feel now is by my age and physical fitness slowing me down, and making life on the road and sleeping who knows where every night, a little less appealing. Your mind can go and do anything, but your body can slow you down and change your plans , and you can feel trapped.

    I really ain't sure...

    I got my books, my guitar, my girlfriend and my philosophy...
    Do I need something else?

    I did something similar to that since 1980 to 86,by myself, then from 87 to
    92 with a woman partner. We had no van or car, juts sleeping bags to sleep any where we would find oursleves.

    Funny, so much has changed,,,but I stll have the two sleeping bags I started with; they last forever.

    My last solo trip was when I broke upo with my partner and left for a final test of the road, and the sleeping back broke in the middle of Big sur and while still up there I mailed a letter to my ex-gf to send me the bag, so when I got to L.A it was in the post office.

    I am traped in a way. I feel I am prepairing to be free,
    but my soul has not yet felt the full blast of freedom quiet yet.
    I would like to be in the right spot or freedom may feel like to many opresive,
    or maybe it won't, maybe I am free now but my mind dosn't know,
    but if I am free and my mind dosn't know would I really be free or
    traped by one of the heaviest (being a surfer I think traped=heavy lol)
    cages there are?
    I am not shure there isn't a yes or no answer.
