Well, I'm back in the good ol' US of A. I'm almost a quarter of a century now and I have managed to live in 7 countries, more than 20 homes and have visited 25 countries. I speak 4 languages and am working on my 5th. I have a BA and an MS have held two professional jobs in varying industries and plenty of part time ones from retail to home services. I've had red hair, black hair, blonde hair and a combination of all the above. I can't recall how many times I've participated in the act of "przemeblowanie" at any place I have stayed in. I get antsy if I am home for one day with no plans to get out. I like to know vague plans for the future, but only short term solid ones. Anything further out scares me as there are too many variables. Committing to anything for more than 6 months or a year is as painful as pulling teeth. I can't settle with anything as there are just so many things I want to accomplish in my life I have a hard time choosing. Indecisive is my middle name. they say it's a Libra thing.
Ultimately, my goal is to just be happy with my life and I feel that in order to be happy there are quite a few things that I strive for. I see nothing wrong for aiming for more and setting high goals for myself. I just need to realize that I can't get lost seeking that happiness and forgetting about the now. I do enjoy my life, everyday I am thankful for everything I have and done, but I always want to achieve more. I also don't want to pass up on any opportunities as you never know when you'll get another chance.

I've recently realized a few things. In order to achieve what I want out of life I have to focus. I am so easily distracted by all the things I enjoy that the things that I may not necessarily find as amusing, but may help me get to where I want to go, I lose interest in. On the other hand, I also realize that life isn't handed to me on a silver platter and I work for what I want to achieve. I just get lost in the middle sometimes by minute distractions.
Well, good news is that I have become aware of this and am actively working on changing it. My main distractions have been partially removed from my life and now a new chapter is beginning. New chances, new hopes and new beginnings. This chapter will also be for only 6 months, which suits my need for change, but not knowing what will come after both scares me and excites me all the same. I'm in the pursuit of happiness and nothing can stop me.
