We're all muddling through

I live a life that 90% of the time is the same routine.

Eat. Sleep. Work. Repeat.

And sure I have my hobbies, I perform poetry, I write, I fit in the odd event here and there if I am not already too exhausted by the time I have spent at work. I long to get out of this place. I long to travel.

For a while now I have had the feeling of "I need to get out" every now and then I will find myself stuck in the same routine I have been living in for the past year and think "I need to get out". I am not yet sure what it is I am trying to escape from, I don't know if leaving this city will help, I know I have always felt so much better and healthier when I am travelling. I think it reminds you that the world is so big and in comparison the problems that I have are actually rather small.

The thing is I could travel, we all could, if we weren't so scared. I am 'settled'. I have a job and get reminded daily by my friends at university how hard it is to find a job these days and how 'lucky' I am. Deep down I know I am lucky to be in the positon I am in at the age I'm at. I have plenty of days of leave I could take which I could spend exploring a new country or visiting a new city but I know for that I have to be brave enough to go alone.

I hope to document all the places I go and all the experiences I have on this blog and hope that my journey, whatever that may be will inspire you to live your best life.
