I dont want my life to be this way for ever. If there a true happiness that we can reach, and somewhere that I can be happy to stay forever. Like I'm having fun and all, but there has gotta be more to life that just existing. And thats what I feel that Im doing, just existing. I dont know, are there other guys out there that feel the same????

I can't believe how much this really hit home. This is EXACTLY the situation I'm in RIGHT now! I was working but I felt like there HAS to be something more. I mean I liked my job and the people I worked with, but it just felt like I'm missing out on life's ADVENTURES, ya know? So, like
GuttersnipeXL, I'm planning on making some drastic changes in about 3 weeks!

To go work on a fishing trawler. It is a pretty dangerous and demanding job, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty by any means. This run o the mill lifestyle has finally driven me to make a drastic change. It's funny because just thinking about it really brightens my day, the anticipation, the preparation, the pay off! Sometimes ya just gottta switch it up and go for it.

Man, I'm planning on doing something drastic also. Right now, I'm thinking of taking a job overseas (outside the US). I saw an ad on Monster.com about teaching English in Japan. And like you, just thinking about it makes me feel better. Now I know things won't be perfect, but I'm willing and ready to take a chance. I'm sick and tired of being SICK and TIRED you know? So I'm gonna DO something to make my life better/different. I'm so glad for this topic because just typing up this reply helps me to stay focus because changing countries and lifestyle can be scary. Anyways, this quotation is my motivation, I hope it will help you:
