To let go or not to let go
How do we become so bogged down in life. Keeping the job, to keep the house, to keep a certain way of living. Its all so frustrating.
I am so fortunate to have a friend now living and teaching in Japan. Although I cannot help but think, that was my dream at one time....and still is to this day. I do not want life to get away from me and never follow my dream of living and working in a country that fascinates me. Working where I do now and with AWA work... has afforded me the luxuries of flying to new locations. I have so many friends and family that it would be hard to leave. Also having a husband like Spock but he wants to go to.
The big question is would I be willing to give up the house and a majority of my possessions to run over to another country. The house we worked for, the job, furnishings. Do I need to take a step back and examine where my life is heading. Do I know when I want to have kids and do I want kids. I tire some of this corporate life and the hum drum of the schedule. I want to read more on how my friends life is in Japan and get excited and go work there one day with my Husband at my side. Living in a small town teaching children and Adults English. Seeing people learn and have fun. Don't get me wrong, I know that life is not perfect on the other side but I want to discover that for myself. I want to get out of this American standard and see how the other side live. Gain experience of the world and if I do have kids pass that knowledge on.
I love having new experiences trying new things, and then sharing those memories with others. I love hearing from others how life is but its nothing like experiencing it for yourself. Shoot, I have even flown with dragons (hot air balloon shaped like a dragon) but does that not sound amazing. I have no thoughts of grandeur or fame. I love my life that I have with a wonderful husband, caring family, health, and a pretty good job. I just never plan on regretting and I have done to much of that already.
