Life Sucks! How do I fix it?

So, only within the last couple of weeks I have realised that I am really unhappy in life. I feel as if I am stuck in a bit of a ‘rut’ for the use of a better word.

Going to work, coming home, eating dinner, having a shower and going to bed to the exact same thing the next day.

It got to the point where I was finding myself quite down in the dumps, depressed almost. That this is what my life had come to. I needed to speak to someone about it, so I did.

I called upon the ‘079 dad I need a chat’ hotline.

We spoke for around 20-30 minutes discussing how I had been feeling about everything and what I could do to maybe make myself feel a little happier.

And then it hit me…

Travelling…I need to go and see the world. I need to experience different things and places. It’s variety that I am missing from my life. That’s why I feel so down and depressed about everything.

I have taken the last couple of weeks to seriously think about this decision and as every time I think about actually doing it all I can feel is the excitement pulsing through my veins, I think that it would be silly of me to turn down such a great opportunity.

I am going to do this, my thinking behind it is: I have no current large commitments in life, I enjoy my job but don’t want to be doing it forever, I am young and I haven’t felt this excited about something in a while. So why not? I can choose to work along my travels on temporary contracts and above all else, enjoy life.

My mind has been made, this is happening!

The only question left to answer…

Where should I go to first?
