Life can be a little, well, underwhelming can't it?
I'm at that stage in life where I've done everything that adults told me to do (finished school and college too) and they always said 'as long as you do this you will be fine, this is the foundation for your future and success'.
But I've done everything I was supposed to and I still have no idea what I'm doing or where I want to be in 10 years. So how do I become a successful human being when every new, original idea I think I have is quickly foiled by a Google search showing it's already been done times over or I'm beaten to jobs that I don't even want by hundreds of people before me!
So what am I going to do? I certainly cannot do another year of full time retail as I don't think my soul could take it!!
I'm hoping to change my idea of successful from how much income I earn to how fulfilled and happy I can be. It's going to be a long journey to change my thought process and learn to ignore people's (not so) subtle pessimism to my response to that ever so present question: what is your aspiration in life?
Don't feel sorry for me or believe me to be naive because my outlook is different to yours because when did aspirations mean dream job? When did we start depending on careers for happiness? So if you ask... My aspiration is to remove myself from the obsession with money and materials and live a simpler life.
Oh and to travel around the world wouldn't be all bad I guess.
Peace out, Amelia x
