I forgot how much LJ used to be a part of my life. I am really glad I never deleted my account; it's got years of memories, back to 2001 I think. That means I first started using it eight whole years ago. Time has gone by so fast.
Five years ago I was lost. I was jobless, not going to school, and 90% of my time was spent hanging out with friends. I kept complaining that I wanted to do something meaningful with my life...
I'm seriously thinking of taking my uncle's offer and going to work for him in Korea for a while. Minimum two months. I'm scared of the whole thing really... Blunt relatives, new living situation, being on my own for real, and not knowing my job will be here for me when I get back. But at the very least I should get fluent and that should open up a bunch of opportunities for me.
Whatever I do... I have to really go at it. This isn't the time for me to be fooling around, wasting my days anymore. I feel like I've developed so much more slowly than others but perhaps it's because I had everything I needed. I was pretty sheltered and there was no real need for it.
But more often lately I keep thinking of the things I want to do that just aren't possible without money. Like traveling, not having to deal with my mom, seeing more broadway shows and paying off debt.
Anyway. I'm thinking about throwing myself into the Korea situation before I can change my mind. It'll shake up my life, at the minimum.
