The Happenings of a Twenty Something

Lately I have been feeling extremely stuck. Life has become so monotonous that I find myself daydreaming of what I could be doing if I didn’t have to clock in for work each day. Each time I get lost in thought about somewhere I’ve always wanted to travel I begin thinking “why not?!” and then my brain brings me back down to reality. But beyond that, I have been truly wondering what is the better choice: to stay and save money or to go, travel, and experience new things??

I know I am not the first girl to have this internal debate, but I have been thinking about it more than ever recently. You always hear of older people sharing tales of regret that they never saw the world and kept themselves chained to their corporate jobs. And I REALLY do not want to be saying that some day. But it is also so hard to jump the hurdle of taking time off and spending the money to go and do the thing I’ve been wishing of. Especially with how crazy expensive the world has gotten, the fear of wasting the money and paying for it (literally and figuratively ) down the line is keeping me firmly at my desk.

But that still won’t put a stop to the dreams of travels world-wide, and the hope that some day, sooner rather than later, I get there. All this to say, I am having a battle between the smart and cautious side of my brain and the spontaneous and adventurous side of my brain. And I’m kind of excited to find out which one wins! Here’s to some *hopefully* upcoming travels!
