I had read many stories since a young age of lone-wolf adventures and escapades–the sort of semi-fictional Western tropes. For me some of my earliest memories which synchronized with reading and riding bikes originated the ability to literally transport myself physically and mentally away from my surroundings. All around the same time, I began to understand the possibility of the world slowly, although not entirely it's depth nor breadth evidentially. Thinking back I cannot pinpoint original curiosity to a particular moment, nor probably can you likewise produce the initial moment that you discovered laughter.
So too then, Das Gypsy cannot refer back to the moment they became as they were. For every ripple aforementioned leading to a new cascade was likewise always preceded by something similar. That is, to become the wanderer, nomad, vagabond, adventurer of the world is not to learn to, but to:
Always I've found comfort in the presence of "less." But I guess there's something more genuine about the house that's a mess. Dressware, that's not "societally appropriate," begging there on the street "with nothing to show for it," maybe the true crime is judging this soundwave as you still "search for happiness..."
The test of all of this maybe is to learn about your journey. Don't hurry others to find their answers as we all have our own worries. Encourage them, push them, and love them, if they mean as much as you say then don't continue to choose vices above REM (tranquility).
Maybe you wonder where this pseudo self development originates from, just remember how you entered this world, party of one. Done is the solitude if you wish for, multitude of reasons why I think differently now, what life is like for "das gypsy" maybe now I can show you how.
Das Gypsy pursues their truth to eventually discover everything that they are. I italicize "eventually" there to emphasize the longness of that process. That is to say, making sense [the process] itself in its eternity IS the journey. To live from the world, out of the world, in the world, next to the world, through the world, and any other combo that can be imaged, in order to live, and live in order. To Live.

Das Gypsy exists within you too.
