The idea of up and away did not come to be in my mind as a physical place or as a reference to clouds or moons, and it was decided by the two of us to "avoid numerous pictures of pretty clouds". To me, it was more of a desire, a longing to be up and away, or possibly even wanting something that is far away from our reach. For people our age, approaching or deep in our quarterlife crisis, there is sometimes immense pressure to want something more, to be constantly moving forward and pursuing bigger and better things. Some resist that societal nudging, or refuse to acknowledge its importance, deeming it artificial. Regardless, we are all confronted with fantasies of or pressures to seek things up and away, beyond our present state but worth the sweat and patience. What can you see beyond your current position, or beyond your minds eye, that is worth your time, and possibly a picture?
