As I step back and examine my current life situation I feel an uneasy dissatisfaction of how things have currently hashed out. I'm 25, a college graduate, single, no real life obligations except to honor my debts. I suppose that I should feel ecstatic about that, but life just hasn't gone as expected for me.
It's as almost as if everyone else is passing me by; I see people getting married, having children or moving out west to start that dream job. Don't get me wrong, I have a job, but I just don't want a career as of yet. I have so many endeavors and ambitions before the stronghold of life suffocates my freedom.
I want to move out of the South, and get a random job somewhere. Who cares! Hopefully I make enough to pay my student loans, but besides that I don't have a wife or children for that matter to look after. While I do want a family in the future, that's definitely a daunting task I don't need to explore anytime soon.
My plan, as I like to think it as, is to get a very good summer job where I can save up enough travel money to move to North Carolina. From there, I'll work maybe a year or so and make my way out West. The future is so bright it burns my eyes. Or maybe that's my allergies. :/
Anyway, It's a matter of chess. I move one piece, and life counters with another. Obstacles are mere setbacks, not game killers. I need to overcome my obstacles and actually do what I have set out to do.
