Where in the World?

So what's life like? Great, actually. Well, work could be better, but I really don't have any complaints. I'm just tired as all get out. I had to travel for a month for work. I don't know if people realize how exhausting travel is. You almost begin to feel as if the airport is home. You're ready for security before you even hit the airport doors. The plane ride itself isn't so bad. I just listen to my iPod and close my eyes. Then there's the hotel. Now, I've seen some good hotels and some not so good hotels. I once stayed in this motel off the highway that stunk of mildew, mold, and just gross to me. I practically slept in my clothes and forget about a shower. I brushed my teeth and went home. Uuuugh. <----- That's me shuddering.

I stayed in a very posh hotel in NYC once. Flat screen tv's and radios that connect with iPods. I cannot travel without my music. I guess I'm a fool to complain about a job with these amenties, and I'm not. I'm just really feeling over worked right now. I have yet to go on a real vacation and that's probably mostly my fault. Well there was Miami...Anyway, I don't hate my job, I just need a break.

I've been looking into trips to Europe. Maybe Santorini or Amsterdam, although Amsterdam may be too much. There's always Italy. OK. TTFN. Off to plan the perfect vacation.

Why create a blog?

That's a good question. I want to be able to someway use my life experiences and journey to inspire, encourage, and uplift someone. I'm not a wealthy person. I'm not a size 6 or 8 even. No where near perfect, but I'm keeping my head high. I'm your typical 20-something girl. Well, kinda. I got a degree to get a job that I never really wanted to do. I am thankful for my job, and my ability to sustain myself, but I wanted so much more out of this life. I used to write, like everyday nonstop. Created a good short story, thought about writing a book, and even opening my own business. That all seems like a distant memory. Those days of looking toward the future.

Yeah, yeah. It's not too late, but now I have a job and responsibilities, so what's a girl to do? I want to travel the world and see what's out there. I got my passport not too long ago. I just want to get up and go. Maybe I will. Maybe I will get inspired by someone who reads this to get up and go.

It's funny, because in college, I was so sure of myself. Somehow, being on my own has taught me to reevaluate myself. I thought I was the best friend anyone could ever have. The best person alive period. And somehow, in the three years since I've left college, I feel like I don't know crap. What was that all for? Didn't I go to college to learn? I mean, yeah, I know how to do my job, but what about everything else? I guess that's what I'm learning now. Real life.

That's what this blog is. Real life.
