I’ve got to get this out so it’s no longer just jumbling around inside my head.

Thailand is a very smart strategic move. It’ll provide an adventure I really want to have. It’s also going to give me some time to work on writing. I’m sure if I look I can find short story contests to enter which would be a great place to start with it all. In addition to that, the certification I get will give me a much better understanding of the English language. After the program I should understand it from a technical standpoint that I don’t now. This will come in handy for the writing and also for future jobs I might decide to pursue because I’ll have a better understanding of grammar. In terms of learning another language it’ll come in handy too because I’ll be able to better relate how English works compared to whatever language I decide to learn. Thai probably. It’s a huge change, but it’ll be a great one. And really, if I don’t like it I can always come back. It’ll be tough moving farther away from home, but the perspective I’ll gain living in another country will be invaluable in terms of personal growth and my writing. I feel much less conflicted now than I have the last few days. I’m ready and excited to do this. It’s time to make this happen. Woohoo! I’m so excited for an adventure and a new experience!
