long time...and everything is all wrong
Absolutely nothing is the same since the last time I typed in this thing called Live Journal. I'm about three years older and ten years wiser than when I last wrote. I'm in Thailand. Never made it to Europe but I'm doing something I love: teaching in Bangkok. I've been here for a year and a half and about to wrap up my two year contract and head back to the homeland. The guy I used to love and basically exist for is nothing but a memory and I am very happy that that's all I have. He's engaged and has a baby on the way. Congratulations go out to him and his fiance. I sit and think that I used to want that. It used to be my dream. But my dreams transformed into something else. I have dreams to pursue my education, to start businesses, and then, when I am fully ready, begin a family. The normal way of life has become to have children and get married young; at least that's the norm among the people I've known in my life. I used to want so badly to follow that lifestyle. Now, I've got my head screwed on straight and am going down the path that I knew I'd go down all along. I'm going down a path that I'm content with. I'm curious as to see where exactly it leads and try my best to follow the right one. I'm so happy I didn't get caught up in the fashions of old.
