Here I am sitting in my room within Lima. I don’t know how the flights looking returning to the US tomorrow night. Today, there were nearly 30 standbys on the list to Houston, and the only other flight to depart would of been to Newark around 11pm tonight, but even then, only 1 standby managed to get on the flight. So, now here I am just sitting here, wondering what to do with my time. Where should I go? How can I utilize my time efficiently so that I am able to make the most of my free time.
To think that I am wasting my time and life away is a hard thing to swallow. I haven’t been working or making money since July 2022, which is more than a year ago, and I am still trying to figure out what I have done with my life over the past 12 months. I have been sort of bouncing around, from place to place without any care of worry, going through my savings, and not exactly producing any desirable results.
Sure, at first I wanted to travel to try and make something out of this lifestyle, but now that I am 35 years old, I am noticing the undesirable changes in my body which show that I am getting slowly older, and that’s no fun. Vlogging also makes me self-conscious and not portray the person on camera with whom I want to portray, so I would have to find an alternative style of video content to share if I were to promote my travels because vlogging just isn’t for me I believe. Of course, I have no reason to be self-conscious, or insecure, but thoughts just naturally transpire, and when I critique myself in the video and think that I don’t like certain ways that I look, then I will not be able to organically be my fun lively little self on camera. So then it is time for some change.
I’m just talking about this because it is midnight here in Peru, and I want to practice more of my typing capabilities while I pass the time. Since, I type 100 wpm, why not use that to my advantage, right? So, that’s what I’ll do. I’ve been taking the speed typing test on 10fastfingers.com, and I’m consistently hitting 110 wpm on the basic typing level. In the short competitions, I managed to reach a high of 126 wpm. So, to me, I have a gift that I must use, and without using it, then I bring no value into the world with it.
Well, that’s enough rambling for now. I suppose I’ll carry on with my day tomorrow and see how I can keep myself occupied. Until next time.
