i've been thinking a lot, planning/my future and what i want to do with myself during this intermediate time between school and school again. i'm already planning how i can postpone my "two year plan" because there is just so much i want to do.
i think the term "leaving" is relative.
my roommate has been really inspiring and he is just picking up and leaving the country, leaving the security of his full-time job, benefits, etc. He is going to a school to learn spanish and do political and social activism in guatemala.... and basically, i'm extremely interested and scheming on his plan. on a sort of related note, i don't know how to explain how i feel that life is has to be lead as an individual and in that same way sometimes you have to uphold your obligation to others, all while balancing your own desire to experience everything (& i don't know that is it always possible).
anyway, nothing is set in stone for my own plans, i'm just brainstorming. it would be difficult to leave for a long amount of time considering the bills i have to pay, but i think a month or a month and a half would be totally possible if i started saving for this. of course there are other small things, daily acts of resistance i could do to settle myself, but i've been feeling so restless lately i don't know that i want to be settled.
