Map of Life

So I'm reading this book called Life Now and it told me to sit down and write out at least a page about what my life would look like if I moved to one of my dream cities so this is my "map":

New York

Los Angeles

Korea/Tanzania/Ireland

I would move into a one bedroom walk up in Los Angeles or New York. I’d go to my favorite gym, probably one with a row of a million treadmills or maybe if it’s early I’d go for a run outside, and then following my Saturday tradition I’d head to my favorite café maybe a Starbucks, or my favorite local spot with a chill vibe and really friendly people who know me by name. And then after my coffee, reading the LA Times or a chapter of my new book on my Nook I’ll head back to my apartment grab my swimsuit and my dog and head to the beach. We’ll hop in the car and drive to the beach , sunbathing and playing in the surf. Then after coming home I’ll call some friends over and we will do an awesome BBQ or dinner, and I’ll actually be able to show off my cooking skills. I will be happy and confident with the life I’m leading, and because of that I will be able to be comfortable with someone else, we will call him Brian and maybe Brian and I will be living together maybe we won’t but I know we will be working hard and playing just as hard in a city we love. When the day is done and Sunday rolls around I’d like to wake up and do pancake Sundays and then after eating a billion calories in my yummy homemade pancakes, I then want to go outside with Brian and Dog and go for a hike in the canyons, spending time together in nature and with God just exploring the natural beauty around us. Monday morning dawns I will be excited to go to a job that I love working with a local or national agency helping people in some form whether that be teaching, or social work, or whatever. And even though I sometimes stress because I’m paying back student loans (hopefully I will actually have them paid off) I know I’m making it in my life. I’m paying car insurance and I’m making it on a job that really doesn’t pay a whole lot… I’m happy. I’m making a difference in people’s lives and that makes a difference in my life. I know that moving gives me the opportunity to be my true self and not the self that I think everyone should see I will be living a healthy lifestyle and I will have hit my goal weight. I am going to feel comfortable in my own skin and love myself. This will be my life, my dreams, and though they may be simple I think I will be happy. And when my work week is done I’m going to go to my own café and I’m going to serve people some of the best food they have ever eaten . And I’m not going to open a huge restaurant, but a small cozy place with organic, fresh food. Food brings people together and if they are going to eat it they should eat the best food available.
