The Countdown Has Begun
I've got just a little over two weeks before I fly out to Cambodia. I'm sitting on my comfortable warm bed in my room at my parents house. I quit work about a month ago, I'm 31 and I have no idea if what I'm about to do makes any sense at all. Actually I know it doesn't make 'sense' in the world I live in now: family oriented, conservative Ottawa. Everyone around me is either married with kids, newly married, engaged, in a serious relationship or looking forward to one of the above. Not to mention, EVERYONE i know has a 'job, job' which is my definition of a stable 9-5 job. What does that say about me amongst all these people? I don't fit. I never did in Ottawa. Why did I ever come back when I spent my entire teenage years itching to get out? I know why. I listened to my head instead of my heart. Never Again! So instead I'm about to embark on an adventure that will take me first to Cambodia for 6weeks to volunteer then wherever my heart desires and then....well wherever my wallet will allow me;)
