So there I was.
Sitting at my desk, totally not doing my work (LIKE RIGHT NOW AS I WRITE THIS BLOG TEHEHE).My mind was on a VLOG I was thinking about making because it would be too jokes and too relatable to those who work in administration.
Literally sitting there laughing to myself, I realized I am not ready to do this. I am not ready to spend every day of the rest of my life sitting behind a desk just to make money. Not that I am ungrateful for this position because it is a blessing FOR SURE. I don't know if I would say I am happy here verses just being content. Either way, I am not sure if anyone is ready for this kind of life, but I am young and have so much more to learn. That in itself is a humbling thought.
To be honest, as much as I am comfortable where I am, I am not going to learn more than what I have already learned from studying in the states and working behind a desk in Toronto. This job is a dream for sure, but it's not my dream.
I am not sure what my dream is entirely, but I want to find it. I definitely won't find it sitting comfortably - I do know that.
So, the goal from here on out is to travel and see what I can learn from each place. That doesn't necessarily mean I need to go across the world and back every month because MONEY $$$. However, I do feel that finding places in our own areas that we've never seen before is just as important. It's also a way to get the best of both worlds, yknow by sitting behind a desk and still experiencing more.
For example, I recently ventured out to Tobermory, Ontario. Only 3.5 hours away from where I live. A little treasure of my own province that I had no idea about until a few months ago. It was absolutely stunning and made my love for Canada grow. It made me realize how privileged and blessed I am to live and breathe in such a magnificent country. It was also just really therapeutic to enjoy nature.
As I continue to search in my own province, I have already discovered that there are secret cities made up of waterfalls. There are beautiful trails, hikes, and so many things in the city as well that I have not experienced.
So while travelling abroad is important, I feel that roadtripping around your own home is equally as important. Not only will develop a greater sense of gratitude, but it can prepare you for the experiences you will endure when you do travel abroad.
Well, that's all I got for today. You know the drill!
Stay gold, friends.
