From September 1st to 21st, I'll be visiting each of these countries for a week and I'm excited to be doing so with my partner. I have no idea what to expect from this trip, but I'm hoping for only the best. I'll be updating this blog via email the first week, so hopefully it works out.
My life is so unbelievably different from the last time I posted. My motivations are totally different, but I'm still no closer to figuring out what I want to spend my life doing. From what I can tell, I'm doing most of it. But in time, that will expire.
The reality overtaking me is that while I'm a workaholic and oftentimes enjoy working, I don't really... want to. If I could live in a nice place and stay in, not having to worry about paying for anything, just making art? I would really like that. It's ridiculous that people look down on housewives, as though the traditional option is distasteful (and might I add that I'm not at all traditional). People really need to re-assess what work is.
I just know that I don't want to be forced to live a life I don't enjoy. I'm not saying I want to be a mooch, either. It just doesn't occur to so many of us that maybe we don't have to earn our place by creating capital. I think the catch is that if I didn't have to earn my place, I would probably actually be successful... and free. Money would flow to me and I wouldn't have to wrestle it to the ground week after week.
Maybe being able to admit these realizations will actually help me get somewhere?
Either way -- I'll be sending you some photos from my trip! I hope you enjoy them.
