I recently returned from Dominican Republic...which I plan to do again soon. Vacations are vital especially if you work 50hrs a week through sleet, rain, shine, and snow for two years. At some point you either break down or take a well-deserved, well-needed vacation....and I chose the vacation....that week between the fruity drinks and beers, the Atlantic ocean, churros, making out with english chicks on flower patterned bedsheets, and sunburns...did I realize that jobs, responsibilities, liabilities, priorities....did not enter my microscopic brain for a week. I've come to realize that this is what kids from well-off families do all the time. I've felt 22 again....and not 22 on my way to 44....which after this vacation I've been telling myself frequently to "work to live not live to work"....sometimes for most people its hard to distinguish the two until you wake up at 50 and realize you haven't lived at all....which i hope will never happen. So with that said I've been trying to not let myself take things for granted...to not put too much of my focus and attention to things that will inevitably take care of itself with little to no supervision. To reconsider taking care of myself and not just with school, future career, and further financial support. Just to be able to do things with a clear mind....a very simple task.
