What am I doing? I ask myself that question a lot and I am surprised with the answer. I moved to Key West to in some ways find myself, but I feel like all I did was just get myself trapped in the corporate world all over again and not spend enough time at the beach. There has to be a breaking point and I think I hit mine. Sometimes all that money isn’t really what makes you happy. I have been working 6 days a week and getting even more overtime everyday and that’s not what I want to be doing down here. I wish I ditched work today but now I am out a Fort Zach sitting at my favorite picnic table. It’s another one of those picture perfect days that I could sit here for what feels like forever and enjoy the beauty! I think I need to stick to my guns, believe in myself and quit my job … AGAIN. I already did that once this year and moved down here in the first place. I would like to have a part time job that I can have some kind of human interaction but still be able to take my laptop to the beach and work there.
I guess its settled … now the hard part actually doing it! I will let you know how it goes!
Thank you! That was my plan … I will let you know how it all goes!
I can feel the frustration in your post. Instead of one full-time job, maybe a couple part-time jobs would work better for the lifestyle you seek. List all your skills and then browse those help-wanted ads and/or network with your new island friends. Think outside the box. That way, you may have more flexibility, fewer responsibilities, and a richer (as in satisfying) life. What do you think?
Ya Key West requires big bank but oh boy no beach to compare it too!
