I know that everyone says it, including myself, but "how did I get here?" When I thought about my life when I was younger, I never imagined it being like this. I always imagined being married with kids, you know, the whole, "American Dream" thing. But, instead I am 30 years old and life hasn't turned out quite the way I planned to say the least.
Don't get me wrong, I have a very nice life. I have good friends, an amazing family, cute house, and sweet dog who just wants to love me to death. What more could a girl ask for...nothing, really! But, I feel that my life has become stagnant. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people feel this way, my friends tell me that they feel this way about their life. But, why should I stay in my day to day life if I feel that it is "STAGNANT"? I have nothing holding me back, nothing keeping me here. I think that people who have children at least feel like they are living for something and not just living. Their life has some sort of purpose. I don't feel that my life necessarily has that right now.
30 has been an amazing year for me. Nothing major has happened but I think my way of thinking has changed. I have learned that no one else can change the path of my life except for me. So, I started thinking that if my life was so plain jane, so humdrum, so stagnant, why not mix it up and that is exactly what I have decided to do.
I have decided to do something different, something exciting... I've decided to teach abroad! It is July 2010 so obviously this is something that will take place next year. All the jobs for this year have been filled. I have been researching how to do this for several weeks and am starting to get an idea about what I will need to do. Hopefully, this blog will follow my steps along the way and when I have a contract, I can reveal it to my friends. And if I don't get a contract to teach abroad, well, I can just hit the delete button! haha!
