Wanderlust  I am movin out of here, Wanderlust's clothes are all over the bed, she gets a call, and says I thought you were gonna call me last night, I am packing, In the evening Carl comes home, and dinner is ready, Wanderlust, You know what I am leaving you, Carl says you can't leave you, you are a Sales Assistant, You barely can make it on your own, She says I can make it before I met you I was ok, Carl says, Where are you going? She goes to the bedroom and comes back says I am leaving you, and then Carl responds by saying;  I work so hard every day and I am gone a lot, my boss expects me to take care of things, you know I love you. They finish dinner, he walks into their bedroom and she's fully packed. Wanderlust comes back to their house to get her stuff, and Carl was there, they talked and Carl says " I called my mom and she' surprised that we are breaking up, she responds listen I am gone, you keep your job, I am moving on, I wouldn't say this was a waste, but you are just very empty, it's sad that you are so dry.

He picks up the phone " calls his friend and says " You know, she left me, and she didn't take anything, I will miss her a lot, and his friend " says " but she has nothing, and then Carl says she's was kind a vague, and I won't be surprised if she ends up somewhere with the working poor. 

Wanderlust goes to work the next day, and feels so much better about her life, and wonders how come she was in a bad place for a long time. She walks to her friend's apartment, it's a beautiful day, and her friend Crystal says you know, I can't believe you stayed with him for that long, you so are stupid, you have wasted your life with somebody that is so self centered. Wanderlust says to Crystal if he calls say I am not home.

Wanderlust goes to a comedy club and meets Omar and they were drinking and laughing, and she tells him about her relationship with Carl, and she spares nothing. I work at that retail store, and he says oh ok I will see you there, So Wanderlust has desire to be on a cover of a magazine, and is not willing to do anything for it. Also Wanderlust likes long hair, her hair is shoulder length and curly, she likes to "sport" ecclectic wear, she's not your regular curly haired, classic type, and she doesn't speak about her ambitions to be on the cover of a magazine, Wanderlust is always on the go a lot, her lifestyle is based on her preferences and what's important and what is acceptable to others. 

At last Wanderlust finds a place to stay which is afforable, she's happier, and thinking about her new life, and everything she wants to do. As she was going to get coffee, she meets this guy and starts talking to him, they go to a coffee shop and sit to get to know each other, and quickly she realizes she made a mistake, and she's sitting there smiling and not focusing on what he's saying, she wants to get out of there soon, and doesn't want hurt him too, Joseph is an IT guy, and he looks like a real nice guy, she's not sure whether she met him before because he looks like someone that helped with directions. 

Ryan is a very good looking guy and Wanderlust met him while she was out and about, they meet for a date, and Wanderlust is looking good, talks to him freely and she was liking him more and more, when in the middle of converstion, she seemed like she was not present and he asked her

do you suffer from paranioa? She said something, left and that was the end of that. She goes to a bar and the Bartender asks her for her an ID and she's shocked and find it somewhat funny later. 

So as Wanderlust was leaving for town she had a experience that was so powerful that she could not stop, it was like she a travelled around the world mentally, and she was thinking am I African American? am I African?, am I half white? It was at that time very strange to go through that and after sometime she was in her body again and untill today doesn't know how come that happened. 

Wanderlust is at a surprise party and she's having a good time talking to people, and she starts dancing and the songs keep getting better, so she talks to some rockers and they exchange some words, she sees Omar and they catch up, one of the rocker comes to her as she was leaving the party, and he says I know you, why don't you come inside again, Wanderlust starts drinking a little bit more, and she is more laid back; Omar is taken aback and dissapointed in Wanderlust, she starts easing into the moment with him by asking him questions laughing heartly and waving her hands in the air without care , Omar observes her for a while and says:  I had a good time that night, do you still work there? Yeah, tipsy she responded it's great!!!  I am leaving do you want me to drive you home says Omar: in the car she's talking a lot as usual when she's feeling tipsy, and he says to Wanderlust; you are so beautiful and I really wish luck, it's ok people are different in certain situations, whatever happened in your last relationship is something, you seem such a different person than the night at the comedy club, I am sure you have your whole life ahead of you, and you are really somebody that is always happy. Are you mixed raced? Hurt, she responds I am not sure, Omar continues I thought we could have a life together, I am sincerely dissapointed that it won't work out. You know, I always wanted to be on the cover of a magazine, I like your car, it's very comfortable, I told you that it was bad relationship , I never hear from again, I may lead a meaningless life, one thing I know he is never coming back in my life and I moved on from that. She opens the door and says thanks for the nice evening.
