Well... looks like I'm going to the Netherlands for 2 months to help film videos at this recycling project called precious plastic! I'm not paid, but i get to live with 40 awesome people doing cool stuff rent free with 3 meal/day provided :) And I might stay a couple weeks after to explore (or just head straight to Berlin and party? still undecided) It's kind of random how it came to be, I just applied on a whim but now I need to look up cheap ways to get to Amsterdam. I'll probably buy a ticket from Boston since i'm going there soon anyway for my friend's clown-themed birthday party. My life's really all over the place right now. Ever since I graduated university 3 years ago honestly. I kind of get anxious sometimes, because it's not going in any specific direction, and now I'm 25, pretty poor and never had a real life job. And my degree in marketing is getting more useless every year. But on the other hand I make enough to survive, have lots of fun and free time and interesting experiences. And in the last 3 years I've travelled a bunch, sold beard oil to Urban Outfitters, worked as an architecture photographer, started my own tour company and helped organise a bunch of burning man stuff including a 600 people party. I guess while I'm only responsible for myself, it's fine. It's just hard to to compare myself to my sister sometimes. She just got married a week ago, has a good stable job with potential and almost 100k in savings.
Don't worry too much about this. Comparisons with family members can be awful sometimes; even if they aren't judging it can be a kind of ever-present reminder of what could be different. The most important thing is doing what you're passionate about. I'm certain you'll come out on top.I kind of get anxious sometimes, because it's not going in any specific direction, and now I'm 25, pretty poor and never had a real life job.
Might be able to count me in an European meetup!
