Aspirations in life

It's been awhile since I've done a blog post. I've been having trouble thinking of things to write about. But, I must say, I've had plenty time to think lately. This post is going to be about goals and life accomplishments.
Now, I sometimes feel I haven't gotten very far in life. I mean, here I am 27 years old, and I live in a small apartment, and I still work as a CNA. Which, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just throwing it out there. Someday, I want to be a physical therapy assistant. I love helping people. It makes me happier than anything. I don't know why, but that makes me feel good. I would love to help people who are my age or middle aged, and have gotten into a car accident, or something of that nature, and need therapy. Because, I'm telling you what, it does work, I've seen it. It's amazing what can be done with the body. It's so difficult though, to find that balance between work and school. I, of course, haven't even started yet, because I don't know where to begin. I'm afraid I'll get this degree, and yet, still not be able to find a job.Yes, I admit, I'm worried that I'll be a CNA forever.But, as a lady I work with who was an aide for 34 years and got her nursing degree at 52, I know it's possible that it's never to late.

I would like to make more money. Money isn't everything, but it does make things easier. I'd like to have a safety net. I'd like to have a retirement fund,. God knows by the time I reach retiring age, there will  be nothing left! I would love to have money to travel. I don't want to live in this bubble of what if-ness. As in, what if my car breaks down, how the hell am I going to pay to get it fixed right now? It's scary living paycheck to paycheck. Eventually, I'd like a nice house. As the famous Freddie Mercury once said "Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure does help!"

I want to travel. I want to be able to go all over. Someday, I want to go to Germany and see my family from Mom's side. Eventually, I'd love to take Mom with me. I know she misses them. I'd love to go to France and New Zealand. I'd love to do things I want to do there. Not what everyone else wants to do. That's such a buzzkill. I want to go into the ocean again. I want to try different foods. I see all these places on The Travel Channel of the food they eat, and hell yea, I'd love to try it! Also, I'd love to go see drag queens and dance my happy little ass off.

I want to be a foster parent. Fortunately, the Shawn man is up for this one too. I would LOVE to make an impact on someone's life. It'd be the most wonderful thing in the world to be remembered ten, twenty years later to these kids as someone who made a difference in their life. That means a lot to me.

I'd like to move to Canada. I love it there. I have never been there, but it's just a feeling I keep getting.

I want to write a novel. Maybe more than one.I know it won't be easy, but I feel so creative lately. And, now I have time to do it. 
I want to get healthier. I want to run and eat right. I'm really trying hard on this one.

Sometimes, I think I should just quit and just do what I'm doing. I like my job, I have accomplished one goal, I work in a hospital. But, there's so much other stuff I feel I need to get to.  I want to change the world. I want to save a life, I want to become someone. I want to feel accomplished. I hate it when people tell me they're just going to give up because they've tried over and over and it doesn't work. Well,  who said you're going to succeed on your first try? I can guarantee even Stephen King wasn't successful right away when he first started writing. Queen had to go through their fair share of bullshit. Here's a thought You keep fucking going! You push through. Because if that's what you really want to do, then go for. No one can stop you, but you. 

Anyway,just a few thoughts I've been muddling through lately. I wanted to write them down and just share. Let me know your thoughts! What're your goals?
