I Kirsty King Want to Live an Extraordinary life

Not too long ago, around graduation time; I woke up with the overwhelming feeling that my life was just passing me by, I realized I wasn't taking advantage of this short life that we live. SO i've decided that starting September (or whenever I'm allowed to leave this country..) I'm going to take every opportunity possible to travel this beautiful planet we live on. Why you ask? I guess this Earth we live on is such an amazing place filled with such fascinating people, it almost seems a waste not to see every corner of it possible. Ever heard of Alan Watts? Unfortunately he died already 40 years ago, but he said something that I can’t get out of my head: 

"If you say that getting the money is the most important thing,
you will spend your life completely wasting your time.
You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living,
that is to go on doing things you don't like doing - which is stupid.
Better to have a short life, that is full of what you like doing,
than a long life spending a miserable way..."

Money makes me feel terribly claustrophobic, I hate that in this day and age we are pretty much defined in society by how much money we earn or much money our parents earn. I hate the death grip money holds on this earth. I mean what would you do all day if you didn't need to earn money anymore? What makes you happy? What excites you? What do you love? How would you really enjoy spending your life?

- Nobody stops and asks themselves these questions anymore because we're all so caught up on my our phones with social media, or too busy worrying about bills to pay. However I vow to myself that I will see as much of this beautiful planet as I possibly can before I die. Yes at some point I will squeeze in college... I'm not stupid, I realize I'm going to need a back up plan. But I fully intend on this being my life. I Kirsty King want to live an Extraordinary life.
