My Hopes For 2025

  I am definitely having some jitters about leaving my job. I am so excited for the freedom, but a part of me is really going to miss my apartment and New York. Living here has been such a dream. This is the first apartment I have truly loved and felt like home in. I love the beat and pulse of New York City (what a cliche, right?). But I am so heartbroken at having to leave my apartment. I even thought about renegotiating my contract with my current job and went through the entire process of creating a plan to possibly stay in my current position. But a part of me knows that is not the right step. Sure, I'll get to stay in my apartment and continue my life here, but there is no growth in that. I have to accept the fact that I am stagnant in this job and there will be no opportunities to grow as both a professional and a person. This job is suffocating me and I am unable to live my life because of it. Hell, I haven't even gone on a date in over 5 years. I don't even look pre...

The Travel Bug

 File:Travel (8274728646).jpg

I'm currently sitting in the breakfast nook at a suburban Fairfield Inn near Denver. I feel happy. I needed it after the hell of a work week I've had. This year has really reignited my passion for travel. Maybe it's the after-shock of the COVID pandemic where the whole world was in lockdown mode. Maybe it's always been a hidden passion of mine and it's finally had a chance to blossom this year. 

I love everything about traveling. The planning stages, spending hours researching, looking up hotels, booking travel. I love staying in hotels. I would love to get an RV and just drive the country. Road trips are my adrenaline. The butterflies when you see something breathtaking for the first time. I remember the very first job I ever wanted to do was to be an air hostess. Of course that was not a realistic dream. And thinking about it now, I wouldn't want to deal with rude obnoxious travelers or to deal with airplane emergencies. 

Being a traveling physician seems real intriguing right now. Spend 4-5 days in the week treating the underserved. Then having the weekend to yourself to explore a different corner of the world. Life is short. I want to see everything this world has to offer. Even South Dakota seems intriguing. 

The happiness I felt staring at the flight tracker map on the plane, looking at all the possible places I could go. The excitement I'm feeling right now as we're staring our Colorado trip. I'm really really really excited to do locums. I was kind of scared and nervous at the beginning, but now it's clear as day that I'm meant to do this. At least in this stage of my life. Not sure if this will be my long-term plan, but for now this feels right in this moment. If I don't do this now, I will regret it the rest of my life. It's time to be bold and take the plunge.
