so, I had a small revelation today
very small
lets go ahead and tell the back story to this.
I love my job!!! I absolutely adore my job!
I am a sales rep for a company called Contiki, and I basically just teach other people how to sell my product, which is cool as all hell!!! I get to travel around the US doing events, and trainings, and its awesome!!!
Basically Contiki is a travel company that does trips for 18-35yr olds to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Bali, Egypt, Alaska....I mean all over the place, and its a way for that age group to travel around with other people from all over the world, and we take care of the details of the trip so you can go and have a good time, and not have to worry about hotel reservation and transportation issues...all you have to worry about is having a good time!!!
Awesome Company, Awesome Job, I mean our National Sales Meeting is going to be in Paris and Munich! LIke are you kidding me?? ROCK OUT RIGHT!!!
So here is the thing (just had to give a lil background n a shoutout to how awesome my job is) today I was talking about my vacation that I am planning in the fall...and Ill explain it for all of you also
Basically my friend who works for the airlines got us free business class tickets to Zurich!! Then we will stay in a hostel for a few nights then take the rail down to Italy, then do a 7 day Contiki trip!!! BEAT THAT!!! I mean come on, the perfect trip! Awesomeness abounds with that trip!
So I was telling someone about how absolutely cool my vaca was going to be, and then i started trying to think about how many vaca days I would be using on this vacation...and then i was thinking 2 weeks of vacation a year....and...ugh!!! Disturbed by that thought!!! FUCK the US!! seriously!!! 2 weeks of vaca? So stupid, Australia gets like 30 days of vaca per year!!!! WTF!!! That is soo effed up! We work more hours per week, more weeks per year, and the dollar isn't worth shit!!!! It's BS!! In america its all about the corporate ladder, excelling, the "American Dream." EFF It All!!!! Why should I spend the mass majority of my life busting my but...for what?? for what??? To make money??? who cares!!! the more money you make the more bills and responsibilities you have! That's It! Who cares, it's a vicous cycle, and most of us are sooo imbedded into this cycle to even think this is considered absuridity!
So
Im leaving
Im not running away
Im not the kind of person who does that
Im going to save up some money
and then in 2 years (or maybe just one)
Im going to backpack around Europe for a year
Then I will return (maybe) work some more, and then do it again,,,but maybe around Asia
Today I was thinking if in 10 years all Ive done with my life is climb the corporate ladder
(Im in the airport right now and i just got distracted b/c i saw the hottest guy eva!!! omgz!!!)
Im going to be very unhappy...I mean it doesn't matter at all,
who cares if I excel at w....damnit still distracted by the hot guy in the airport....please go away hot guy so i can pay attention....
yeah so peace out!
Peace American Dream
Peace Corporate ladder
Peace Bills and Responsibility....
Im just not doing it anymore!!!
I just don't think that is what I want out of life!
I have always had this feeling and Ive always wanted to just pack up and move (I may move to honduras first...oh so many options) but i laways thought it was just a dream. It was just something i wanted to do, but would never get done, or it was something else other people do....
Why not me?
I just started to question myself, why can't i do the things i really want to do in life??
why do i have to do what i am told
seriously
im 23
i pay my own bills
im totally self sufficient
I have a college education
What would i really be missing out on? (besides my kickass job)
I mean after I graduated from college I packed my stuff up and moved 3,000 miles to a place where I didn't know 1 person!! I had no connection or anything, I just had a job!
Well, I guess I just wanted to talk about my change in life plans...Im done with this
