Getting ready for America
As a millennial, I have become a reverse immigrant
I went back in search for the culture my skin was born to have, the language that my heart craved to understand love in, and the people that I would have met if my parents didn't decide to leave for the land of the free.
I am entitled to my eagerness to learn
When the honey pot is empty, my Pooh Bear needs his fix. I'll fly with balloons and get stung by bees and still have optimism even after the dumb charades I go through in my own process. I wanted to learn what it is to be in process. A character born in a new game+ with unlimited options to mess up as much as he pleases.
I complain about where I'm supposed to go next
Instead of the million other things that create viral pollution on the internet about some dude grabbing vaginas and becoming President or how there are so many problems that no one is paying attention to. People problems exist for the sake of having a long discussion to compare who's stick is more meaningful, powerful, and influential.
I'd rather tackle problems that the universe sends me each day and show my progress after my efforts have been given.
You can see me transparently because you decided to take this time to read this.
I always hope my heart has genuine things to express. Sometimes it's in hell mode and Baal is kicking my arse and I'm not able to unwrite what I've already thought. I want my mistakes to exist because they often are answers that I will need later for future problems.
Honoring my mistakes to make better decisions
I didn't do so well as an American. Honestly I don't think many of us can. We shame ourselves with so much pressure that the 💩 doesn't come a diamond, it's just really flat 💩. I don't want to end up in the cycle again where I am inflating myself with things I don't need. The social groups that take more than they give. The loneliness that is severely ignored by heavy doses of Netflix binges and drugs.
The world has brought to my attention the need to create.
I feel like I'm a superhero to some children that I've taught in southeast Asia. I have met many travellers who I shared my heart and time with to forge my ideas with. There's a lot of little problems that I have that needs my problem solving skills and I want to solve them with all my resources.
We start healing when we surround ourselves within groups of people who heal themselves.
Like all the little minnows coming together to form a school of fish, together we swim towards rejuvenating our spirits to what they were always meant to be.
I will start a new life in America
It will be something of a planned homecoming. I don't want to overwork like the workaholic I was. I have a path that I've imagined time and time again, so steemians, let's go on this journey together. I will study more in depth about permaculture. As a family we will build a food truck business from scratch and make food we have been inspired by from all the countries we got a chance to experience. We will home school and base our curriculum on being great role models for policing ourselves and independent learning.
Hold us accountable
There's a bunch of white papers promising all these things they perceive as the step in the right direction. This is my promise on my favorite blockchain. I promise to commit to my little dreams that propel me forward and keep you all on aboard with my practice to always be transparent and genuine while pursuing what matters most to me.
I want to make the world a better place
By sharing delicious food, learning new languages and embracing all cultures that build us up, and being great role models for the children of the world as we find the means to travel as a family to build opportunities for orphans worldwide.
I want to get there. Join us on our journey :)

Entry post
I hope you enjoyed my post! :)
@poodai yes I did 👍
I absolutely love this post! It takes courage to jump off the hamster wheel and truly experience life for what it is, not what is culturally pressed upon us...the fake social media impression of how "happy" people look. My husband has cancer and we picked up and moved from Canada to Mexico to truly live. We sold everything, because you quickly figure out in life what you "need" versus what you "want", and we needed nothing but two backpacks and our cat :) I love that you are choosing to pay this knowledge forward to children now too.
I'm so glad that I found your post; I found your post because @imagendevoz featured you in our Pay it Forward Curation Contest for which I am a judge. You should consider joining us too; I have a feeling you would find some quality posts such as your own here :)
Cheers!
Wow! That is an incredibly courageous journey to take! I think travel opens our hearts to the entire world and when we experience people at face value with our ears ready to receive, the universe truly sends information that we really need for whichever path we are currently hiking through. Thank you for your amazing feedback and I will definitely stay tuned for more contests!
It really is about what "our ears are ready to receive", isn't it??!! :)
It's good to read such honest words. You feel that they come from the heart. I want to wish you all the best and much success on your journey and with your plans!
