Realizing you don’t need “stuff.”

I have decided to spend a year in South Korea to teach, and take some time during the holidays to travel to Australia, New Zealand and the tropical islands.  It has been close to 6 years in Los Angles, and upon realizing how much of a bubble people exist in while going about their lives, I’ve decided to take my writing and my life out of the country.

Travelling doesn’t only broaden one’s horizons, but expands one’s perspective as well.  Having been raised in multiple cities across the globe, I know first hand that travelling has increased my understanding of culture, politics, lifestyle and most importantly, food.  This applies itself to business, marketing, teaching and any meaningful human interaction that promulgates a global consciousness.  People have a general understanding of the basic needs between them; “thumbs up” meaning something great, eating, breathing, basic rules of etiquette when assisting a fellow citizen, the list goes on.

For instance, research has highlighted how similar humans across the globe think.  Under the influence of drugs, we generally have the same symptoms albeit under different thresholds.  The anomalous experiences of dreams and waking up in the morning all hit people regardless of race, location, language or creed.  For some enigmatic reason (scientists still don’t know for sure), we’re much more the same than people realize.  The problem is: not everybody realizes this. People love to separate, it’s a harsh reality of existence.

Speaking of existence, there are moments that pass by where I have that feeling: hmmm, this exact things is happening in at least 10 other locations around the world right now.  Crazy right?  Theory of relativity? Probably not that crazy, but close! Right?  Who knows, this year I will either decide to embark on a journey to becoming a teacher, or start my business in siphoning funds into a global charity through media; hopefully transferring the power of Hollywood into the hands of everyday citizens in the process.  We’ll see.

My goals of “making it” in Hollywood didn’t pan out, but seeing how celebrities are mostly entertaining in their roles, but not so much in real life gives me hope and resolve that daily interactions with real life human beings is the true potion of happiness.

 

Cheers to that,
