Well, the time has come to rid myself of as many of my possessions as I can so that I can make my dreams a reality. Here’s some of the stuff I have for sale on Craigslist. If you are in Orlando, and are interested in any of this stuff, just let me know… also, if you helped me spread the word about this, that would be awesome too.

My family is in town for my 2nd week of Funemployment. We’ve been having a blast together at the beach, theme parks, restaurants, and meeting people who have been important to me here in Orlando, others that were a huge part of my brother’s life when he lived in Tampa.
The thing I’m quickly realizing is how much more enjoyable life becomes when you get to share the things you love with the people you love. Even the things you thought you didn’t enjoy much can become awesome when you’re sharing them. I’ve been living alone for nearly 11 months. I’ve never lived alone in my life before my venture to Orlando. This is the first time that I’ve experienced the complete independence, as well as the solitude and loneliness of living on my own.
It is important to do great things with your life. It’s important to follow your dreams, and stretch to achieve your goals. However, having my family here has made me realized how how important it is to surround yourself with the people you care about most, and do the things that truly resonate with you.
If you’re feeling stuck, or alone, or unmotivated, maybe you are like me, and you’re just suffering from a lack of being surrounded by people who love you and inspire you. If that’s the case… change something. Life’s too short not to.
I’m wrapping up day two of “Funemployment.” My last day working for a normal job in a normal office was on Friday, and boy-oh-boy have I already learned some stuff.
I never realized how much anxiety I was experiencing on a regular basis due to the mere fact that I knew I had to wake up and be at work at 8:00 every day. There were times when I found myself “in the zone” on a fun project, or deep in a meaningful conversation, or even just out having fun when the wall of dread would press down on my chest and shoulders.
“You have to be back at work in 7 hours. You’re going to dread the alarm clock tomorrow.”
The biggest difference I’ve noticed in myself is that the dead weight that I felt like I was carrying around is gone… and I’m not even getting more sleep. Just better sleep. Anxiety-free sleep.
My morning routine now consists of the following:
By the time I hit 10:30, I feel amazing, and I can tackle the upcoming hours with a fresh mind, and a bit of Christmas morning-esque excitement.
I may not have an guaranteed income right now, but I’d trade money for peace of mind any day, now that I’ve experienced it.
