While looking through peoples blogs and basically being a peeping tom into the lives of strangers, I can’t help but wonder if I’m missing out on life. There are so many places in the World to chose to be so why am I here? I can’t seem to think of any other reason accept comfort- or maybe the word is security? I know this place…I was born here….raised here….have family and friends here- all of which are a crutches to the so called “real life”. It’s hard to admit that but if I’m being honest with myself, then I know it’s true and I need to figure out what I’m afraid of so I can fix it and finally get out there into the great unknown. People are doing it every day so why aren’t I?
Dont worry..you arent alone when it comes to this. I often think the same!! Although I have been all over the world with my military career, I always remind myself of where I came from. The place where we both reside isn't too bad of a place at all!! I mean you gotta admit that the weather here is very nice most of the year.
ReplyDeleteI must say that have you ever thought about going into the military?? Even if its only for a few years or so...it will definately give you that opportunity of travel!!!
Wishing you the best BECK!!!!
Thanks J! I was actually in ROTC in college...the plan was to get into the air force, but unfortunently I have a medical problem in my muscles and they wont take me. Thats how I ended up with a marketing degree, but everything worked out and things happen for a reason. =) You're right about one thing though...we do have great weather! I appreciate your words of encouragement more then you know!
ReplyDeleteI just read this and it reminded me of me. Sure, this comment is MONTHS after the fact but my opinion and I are here to respond! I think everyone is scared to leave behind what they've known and to venture out and explore the unknown. I was scared to death to move to a new place where I had no friends but as with most things, you get used to it. Yes, I moved here with someone and that made it easier so I think a good plan for you is to choose a place where you know someone so that it makes things less frightening. I don't think you'll ever have to worry about failing because you're smart and you're excellent with people so finding a new job and new friends won't be hard for you! When you finally do get back out into the workforce, maybe you should take the plunge and choose a new locale. It's a hard decision to come to but one I don't think you'll ever regret. And that, my friend, is my two pennies.
