Lol, only on SG could I look over on my activity feed and see a thread called "watching girls pee" when I'm about to write a post about my greatest aspirations in life.
I have always known that what I want to do for the rest of my life is travel. I have been distraught for the last few, well, years of my life, trying to figure out how I will ever afford to travel internationally. I've been thinking and thinking and thinking my little head off, racking my brain for the secrets or the loopholes, the make-money-quick schemes.. It only ever left me feeling hopeless.
But here's where it really starts for me. I have made the decision to manage my money for once in my life. I don't need a car. I am going to move back in with my mother when I go back to Oklahoma. I am going to find a job. I am going to save my money. I am not going to buy clothes or expensive electronics; I'm not going to eat out all the time. I am going to go to Australia at the end of next year and I won't let myself down this time.
A recurring theme in my life is disappointment; not disappointment in others or disappointment in myself knowing I had done my best. I disappoint myself because I don't stick my guns and I don't focus on one thing for any extended period of time. I have always been bad at managing my money but now I'm at a place where I can start over. I don't have an apartment or a car payment; I have a few student loans but I won't have to start paying them back for a few months.
I am going to do this and I am determined this time. I can't do the rat race thing. I suck at it. I'm not interested in getting to the top or accumulating wealth, having expensive things or being the most fashionable. All I ever wanted was to travel and see things no one back home will ever see.
Wish me luck..

umm... yeah, stick to your guns and make Australia a top priority. I'd personally love to go there. And dozens of other places too...
