Every Day There Are Several Things That Happen Which Moves Me That Much Closer To Selling All My Things

If only I had the money to keep it

Everyone talks about how Millennials already have picked up grandparent hobbies. We knit, garden, whittle, and bake bread. I think this is because we’ve already been through so much in such a short time. We’re exhausted. All we want to do is wrap ourselves in a sweater, sit in the garden, and watch our plants grow.

The cat's afternoon nap. She always likes to flaunt her freedom in my face while I'm going work.

Just watching this movie about people who live in a town in Siberia. It's amazing how these people live in such a hard landscape, was a really cool thing to see.

I've always wanted to catch and cook my own food at some point in my life. I'm a bit of a wuss and would have trouble killing a rabbit or some other small animal but I don't think I'd have trouble with a fish.

Only problem with is that I suck at fishing.

Open Possibilities

In three days time I'm going to tell my employer that I'll be leaving just before thanksgiving. After two years working in the retail industry I've decided I've had enough and it isn't for me. It did not take me two years to come to this conclusion, in fact I've felt this way for most of those two years. Unfortunately it was the inability to find a new job I cared more about and the need to pay my bills that kept me trapped in a prison I had accidentally chosen one afternoon while walking down the street.

I'll be leaving with no new job to go to and no idea when I'll be able to get another. As always I have some romantic vision of leaving and right away finding a career that brings me complete joy making every day better and not worse than the one before it. But I know instead it will most likely be a great struggle and one day in the future I may come to call myself a fool for making such an irresponsible decision so early in my life.

Though at the risk of sounding cliche, I have chosen to walk blindly into the future leaving my present unhappiness and stability behind. What lies ahead is completely open to possibilities, either good or bad. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for the good.
