Just go...

I want to be a nomad.

La La Land

I'm a dreamer. I always have been and I love that about myself. I've always seen my ability to use my imagination to explore new worlds as a kid or think up crazy plans for my future since I'm older as an asset. My dreams are what drive me and can lift me up when I'm having a bad day. I think about something crazy I've always wanted to do or re-read some crazy scheme I've written down. I love that. That's why if I could, I would be a kid forever and keep the fun in life. I think a lot of people forget how to have fun, especially when they get tied down by their jobs and other responsibilities. I never want to forget how to have fun.

I want my life to be an adventure and the adventures I want require some cash flow. To finance my fun I'm looking for a career that would be fun while providing me with some cash instead of just being a means to an end that I hate. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what type of career that could be. I want to be able to work with my hands and create stuff. I want to be able to go outside to enjoy the fresh air and not be stuck inside in 6x6 cubicle staring at a computer screen under harsh florescent lighting for 8+ hours a day. I want to wake up and be happy about going to work and not have to drag myself out of the bed for yet another mundane day at the office. And of course I want time to play, to have fun, to take off on an adventure and see the world, and be able to afford this fun.

Am I asking too much? It's not that I don't want to be a responsible adult and contribute to society. I just want my contribution to be something I enjoy doing and not something that I do only out of necessity because I need the paycheck to eat. Life is too short to work a job for 30 to 40 years and not enjoy it. So I'm trying to avoid that route and in doing so I've realized the path that I set myself up for isn't right for me. However, I haven't really figured out the perfect thing to do yet. For that, I think I need to keep dreaming and hopefully the perfect solution will come to me.

Peace
