For a while I had absolutely no clue what I was doing with my life. And I still don’t to some extent.

I am, however, getting more clarity about life.

Now what do I mean by clarity about life?
It’s that light bulb moment where you realize you were going about it all wrong. It’s when you see your life from an aerial view and grasp a new perspective on things.

So recently I’ve gained some clarity and insight on myself that I would like to share…

Over the last 3 months, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not remotely interested in an ordinary job. I believe that when you’re stuck making a decision for a long period of time (i.e. 4+ months) and nothing feels quite right, you should trust your instincts. Truthfully, I don’t believe I was put on this planet to work in an office or retail or sales and so on. So I’m going to follow my heart wherever it takes me.

The first thing that comes to my mind is travel.

I’ve always had a strong love of and desire to travel. But I struggle with the concept of solo travel because I love being around people I know. This is something I want to overcome (with time and practice). So I’m looking into doing my first solo trip somewhere mellow and easy to acclimate myself. Maybe this will help me gain more clarity surrounding my life?!

Let me know if you have any suggestions of places to look into visiting!

I started this blog because I wanted to become a travel blogger. But I have now realized that putting such pressure on myself has made this blog difficult to maintain. Since none of my posts have really been about travel, I tend to discard a lot of drafts about many of my random thoughts.

So now I am giving myself the freedom to go with the flow. How great does that sound?

Today I thought I should mention the big change that’s happened recently – I quit my job a few months ago and moved across the country (eek!) to a no-job situation. It’s still a little unbelievable that I did something this crazy. All my life, I’ve dreamt about doing something exciting and irrational but haven’t followed through with anything. This would be my first time.

I did it because I wasn’t satisfied with the quality of my life at the time. It felt like there was something else out there for me and that was what I needed to do if I wanted to find it. While every day is full of worry about many things, I’m working on developing a new perspective and more positive demeanor. I feel that will make a huge difference at this point in my life.

Life has so much to offer and deep down under all the fear and anxiety, I want to experience it all. Okay. Maybe not everything. But you get the idea.
