My life

Lately I've come upon several realizations. The first and foremost: I am (currently) happy. I believe that this comes from me not wanting anything. At the moment, there are times where I enjoy myself and the company of others where I don't think about things that I want, or where I don't want anymore than what I have.

This leads into my second realization: I am not (currently) happy. Though I would have to say I am more happy than I am not, my unhappiness arises from my (continuous) lack of direction. There always need to be something for you to conquer, over that hill you're climbing, you should see another, even bigger hill to climb. It's not so much that my life has no hills, it's just that I don't feel very compelled to climb them.

Third realization: I need a hobby. So here it is. After years of saying how much I love music and want to play the piano, I don't want to play the piano. It would be cool If I could, but I don't really feel interested enough to put the time into it. Especially by myself. Same goes for a comic. I've decided that I want to pursue a deeper passion, travel.

More than just sightseeing, I want to adventure around the world (most of it anyways). That being said, I now have a goal to aspire to. I've decided that my first trip should be around the US. I want to drive to different cities, see sights, meet people, and spend some time opening my eyes to the wonderful and terrible things that this country has to offer. I will plan it for 5 years in the future.

I wonder how much vacation time I'll get at work?
