Travel and Write

That’s all I want to do. For now at least. I look around at everyone who is “on track” to get a 9 – 5 job they hate, marry someone “‘cause it’s time”, have those 2.5 kids, and “settle down.” I hate the word settle. It literally makes me cringe. Maybe I’ll want all those things one day, but not now. Right now I just want to travel and write.

Travelling is one of those self-fulfillment things. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel alive. Of course, I’m too broke to just get up and go where I want, when I want, so I plan to get travel oriented jobs. Flight attendant is next on my list. :)

Writing is just what I do. It’s how I express myself and organize my thoughts. It is (one of) the passion(s) I want to turn into a career. Which career is left to be determined. I want to be a journalist, an editor, a publisher, a novelist… the possibilities are endless.  My plan of attack is a bit different here. I need to start talking to people – building a network. I need to work for free if necessary. I need to keep my portfolio up to date. From there, hopefully, my path towards _____________ will be a bit clearer.  But ‘til then, I’m just enjoying the ride.
