I always just wanted a simple life. Going back and living amongst the Scottish highlanders appeals to me. Seems like living was simpler then. Not easy by any means, but more simple.
I've always had this weird feeling that something is coming, and like you said, I can't put my finger on what. It feels like something is coming, but I can't tell if it's something bad or good. The feeling makes me lean towards bad.
I try to keep the outlook that there isn't any "bad" or "good", but that it's all in how you face it, whether you adapt and overcome, or whether you just succumb to whatever comes.
I'm with ya on having been born a couple of centuries too late. Not sure a Highland life would be for me, though - it gets seriously cold there some times! Some of my ancestors managed it handily, but then again I have no doubt that they were better men than me!
