So here I am.... words on page and mixed thoughts. I am nervous about my business. I have never seen such a crush before. We have seen steady growth for 10 years and now we are falling backwards. Not just sliding... falling. Is this God's plan? Should I now find a new direction? It is funny how life and the world seemed so fresh and attainable back in my Peace Corps days. I mean I had so much ideology and I felt I was towering above everybody with my beliefs and I would never go back to the capitalist bullshit in which I had left. I promised myself I would never return to that rut!
Now here I am 12 years later... back in the rat race. Only now, the whole world seems to be imploding. Man, how I would love to be back in my Peace Corps mentality where the world seemed so far removed. We had our little stipend that paid for all the basics that life really needs to survive. We were above the fray of the materialism that was "over there".
Wow how things change!!!!!!!!!! All I can say, if any current Peace Corps volunteers read this..... count your blessings. Life will eventually catch up with the majority of you... and let me tell you, it SUCKS!!!!
Can't wait to go back and get some new perspective! For sure...
