Starting Again?
My last post was about surviving and not giving up, 2020 has definitely been the year of revaluating life, or well at least for me, it has giving me a lot of time to think, and in a way heal, and time to breath.
If you are my friend you know that I work on Cruise ships and it is a job that I love very much! I started in 2008, took a break in 2012, even found a “real” job on land (which I did not like), and ended going back to ships 7 months later. I was 28 and wanted to try the “Real life”, you know settle down and stuff, but I missed my job, waking up in the middle of the ocean or in a different port.
I must confess that this year I was thinking about my future, and if staying on ships is the life that I want or until when do I want that life. I also must admit that I was tired, spiritually, and physically, and wanted to find a purpose again, so I was a bit lost on what to do next, and then, Surprise! Surprise! PANDEMIC, COVID-19, CLOSE BORDERS, STOP THE WORLD!
I got home March 18th or 19th and since then I have had enough time to think, to revaluate, to relax, to stress, I even got sick, yep from the famous Covid-19, but that is a story for another time. Different dates to start again started coming up, May, July, September and I believe now is October, so I am in that time of life in which I need to start getting really creative, I mean I need income!
I have been getting back to my old roots, you know the things that I liked to do before life got to busy (non-stop), like writing, which is something I love and then I stopped! I have this story in my mind which I think it’s amazing but still working on it, hopefully I can make it into a book! That would be amazing! Can’t wait.
But going back to this post, yea, time to go back to myself, getting ideas here and there, creating timelines, figuring what I want to have before 40, which by the way is 4 years away.
I kind of have a job already, obviously temporary while I get my cruise ship job back, but then who knows, 2020 is the year of the unexpected and the crazy. I must say I am as always just hoping for the best!
As well, hope to get my things going on, have them settle, and will be giving surprises by the end of the year!
2020, expect the unexpected!
Wishing everyone the best, and wear a mask please!
