I woke up this morning feeling antsy, agitated, and annoyed. I don't want to work at Christopher Elbow. I haven't heard back from 826 about training and I'm supposed to start on Monday and I'm generally just annoyed with anyone and everyone that has yet to respond to any of my emails. Being ignored is not something I take lightly.
Regardless of my currently pessimistic state of mind, I got dressed, did my hair, made myself coffee and sat down to watch a documentary about a young girl from Holland who sailed around the world by herself. Although it's an inspiring movie and tale, it only made me miss being on the open water and Semester at Sea. Waves of sadness and memories of time spent on the MV Explorer, the friends I've made, the countries and cultures I've experienced. I felt free. I felt boundless by society, money, responsibility of anyone but myself. Perhaps it is a naive way of looking at the world. Perhaps people think I'm spoiled. I've made all of these decisions for myself, by myself, for my future. No one hands you life changing experience. You must seek it out.
So in terms of all these lousy jobs. I'll seek out the best. I'll quit jobs and feel guilty about it. I'll start jobs I realized I hate. I'll continue to weed out the worst to seek out the best.
Sail onwards. Set out the sail and hope for wind.
