Memoirs of a Modern Gypsy

So, I have decided that I am a modern gypsy. I reject stability and the life I am "suppossed" to want to strive for. Happiness and success are different to me than most other people. I want to make my life memorable for me and the things that I want to do. I just can't conform to society's idea of what my life should be. I told my mother a long time ago that my life is going to be very different than her life. I have very different ideas of what makes life special and fufilling.

I am living up here in this mountain enviroment and you could say I am sacrificing alot to be here, but i don't look at it that way. I feel that I have found the golden ticket here. I mean, a job that gives you 2 months off twice a year, I live here in very comfortable accommodations(to me anyway)and get all my food for a nominal fee. All I have to do here is concentrate on being a hard worker and then the reward is the time off. There is absolutely nothing for me to spend my money on here on a day to day basis, so it has helped my financial stability emensly.

I have so many adventures in my head for that time off , which is coming sooner than later. I am going to green build remodel my childhood playhouse into a bungalo for my self to stay in when I am around. I am going to Mexico in May to visit friends I have made here at the mountain. When I get "home" (sidenote-it took me only a few weeks to start calling this place home and not the other way around)to Port Orchard and Bremerton I am going to be a different person in that place. I live my life so differently now than I did when I was there. People laugh at me when I tell them the things I want to do with my life.

I want to travel and see this beautiful world that we get the privelage of living on. I want to meet new crazy, adventurous, gypsies like me, and I want to do it all with a zest for life and a positivity that people just can't seem to find in conventional life.

They say that the american dream is a good job, owning a home and having 2.5 children, and mabye it is for some people. I have a different plan in mind, and I am so excited!
