I have a few things in the works with my life. I'm one of those people that counts the outcome more than the actual idea though. As in, if you have an idea and it brings nothing, then i don't count that as an achievement. That sounds like something an old person would say, like your dad or your grandpa or something. Naturally, it puts myself in a very harsh place. My standards for myself are always really high so who knows if these things will actually amount to anything? First of all, i'm seriously saving this time around. I know i say i'm saving, i'm saving but never do it. This time, i'm totally serious. I'm getting SO sick of Melbourne. It's boring here, no one does anything out there and everyone is all stuck in their little bubbles and i want to experience something new. I want exciting people who aren't afraid to come up to me and just start talking and introducing themselves and i want to meet people who are going places and to ask them what their life is like. Melbourne is a bore and i need to get out, even if it's just a little while.
All of this is contradicting one of my older posts titled " Why i never travel " though. I guess i'm being proven wrong. I understand why people travel now. I need to get out, it's just too boring here. The thing is, i literally can't envision how i can make my life more exciting and happening in Melbourne. Maybe i should seriously considering moving overseas or something. Big words, big ideas. So much more easier said than done. I'm saving up to go to Japan and New York. I want to stay at each place for one month. It'll literally be just me wondering the streets everyday. Eating out, shopping and going to bars .... alone. I'm literally prepared to do that, not even scared. When you're a traveller, you do things you normally would never do. I also want to be able to save enough money so i can buy something really, really nice over there. Like a pair of Chanel flats in New York or maybe a second hand Chanel in one of Japan's many consignment stores.
The second project in the works is i'm writing a book. I said in 2012 that i was writing a novel ( which never eventuated ) but this time, i'm so much more serious and mature about it. It's a weird genre. Self Help/Memoir. A long time back, i said that Being alone was the area that i had endless amount of material for. Well this book is titled, " How to be Alone" and i'm currently enjoying writing it. Words just come out seamlessly. Who knows how publishers will take to it though? It will be an ordeal to simply pitch it to publishers. Hopefully things will go right in that area but realistically, getting a book published can take years so i guess the main important thing is to focus on the WRITING aspect for now.
I found a writer who's career i want to emulate. Tao Lin. He's got it all going on and has done everything that i want to do. Shout out to Tao all the way in New York.
