3, Thinking...

So, what are these momentous decisions that I need to think about?

Well, it is actually quite simple. I work full time, yet have very little to show for it, I find myself struggling financially more and more as the years roll by. I have cut back on so many things that it now feels I am cutting back on life itself!

How much longer can I survive, and what more can I do without?

It seems to me, that no matter what I do, life is getting more and more ridiculous. We are now [at best] just getting by. My question to myself is: Is this what life is all about? Money and bills?

So, I tighten my belt a little more, cut back once again, some days I have been so skint that the question is do I heat or eat. I can’t afford to do both. Fuck this, this is 2013, and we are living like this!!!

So, the big questions for me is how do I get out of this rut, what can I do, how do I do it, and finally am I strong enough?

My [half a] plan is this:-

1, Sell my house

2, Buy a Motorhome

3, Live in the Motorhome for a year, and still work fulltime

4, Save as much as possible

5, Jack in work, and travel

6, Live a more simple life on the road

It sounds so simple and maybe it is. I won’t know until I try. I will [at this rate] lose the house eventually anyway, so this way, I come out on top, and do what I want to do.

Naturally a life spent travelling will bring its own complications, water and electricity will be short at times, I will have to ration whatever cash I have BUT…I will taste freedom each and every day. No more mortgage, no council tax or water rates… no getting up for work.

I could meditate, walk, take photos, read, write in my blog, spend time doing whatever I feel like and answering to no one!

So, that is kind of my plan. I need to really sit and think about this much more, do some research, and ask myself is this really what I want…  time will tell.

I'm sure this life wouldn't be for everyone, but I have always been on the edge of society, or felt that somehow I don't really 'belong'.
We have to pigeon hole and label everything, so I can do that first. If I do this, I would be called a new age traveller, a title that sits OK with me. I personally think of the word traveller as a Gypsy, so new age traveller suits this lifestyle a little more. I tend to think of it in these terms: Spiritual wanderer or perhaps freedom seeker.

The first step to living the life you want

Is leaving the life you don’t want.

Taking the first step forward

Is always the hardest

But then with each step forward

Gets easier and easier

And each step forward gets

You closer and closer

Until eventually

What had once been invisible

Starts to become visible

And what had once felt impossible

Starts to feel possible.

                                   WHEREVER YOU GO -GO WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
