“Two years he walks the Earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the great white north. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild.”
― Christopher McCandless
May 1992
He gave up his family, his loved ones, his money, his education, his name his everything & thus Christopher McCandless became Super tramp- Alexander Super tramp.
He never wanted to live his life faking everything, he was suffocated by the bound put up by the society. He always wandered why the people were so bad to each other so often. He traveled in search of happiness- The real HAPPINESS.
I leaned down the corner corner of the bed as i watched him breathing his last. Wiped away the tears that rolled down my cheeks when he relived his whole life in his last minute. He saw a light, his mother and father running to him & hugging him. With a small helpless grin on his face he asked himself
-"What if i were smiling & running into your arms? Would you see then what i see now?
He knew he cannot relive his life again. He cant change the past. the present nor the future. As i watched the movie till the end a sudden chill went through my body when i saw the numbers - 1968/2/18
Yes, i know people will be thinking its rubbish but the fact that we had same zodiac caught me for i read this somewhere-
"Aquarius seek happiness above all else, which is why we shoot for
our dreams. Achieving our dreams light up our world."
I remembered how i used to say i dream of becoming rich or famous when i grow up. I'd be a doctor, build a big house & live the most luxurious life. But i noticed these changed i repeated the same question to myself again & the only answer i got was "I want to be happy when i grow up." I know i wont go into the wild or live a life like him but i really wish i could be happy when i grow up. I don't even think i know what i'm good at or what makes me really happy i guess i actually know nothing.
Living his life helplessly at the wild he quoted at last that
"Happiness is only real when shared." His life, his sacrifice are inspiration to many people all over the world. He was never a loser he was brave he was a hero because he followed his youthful idealism to a level most people wouldn't dare.
