ALRIGHTY, HERE'S THE PLAN

Note this is several years from happening.

I currently have the rest of my life spelled out for me, with a well paying job and plenty of benefits available (active duty military and later civilian gig already pre-arranged). I enlisted because I felt restless, uncomfortable, and unchallenged. Those feelings have come back stronger than ever before, and so I've decided on what I am going to do. Once my contract runs out, I should be on the opposite end of the country from home, so I will arrange for all my bags to be sent home, then, with nothing but a small backpack and some pocket change, I'm going to try and get home. The goal is for this to be the ultimate sort of find-yourself-spiritually coming-of-age adventure to prove to myself that I really deserve everything so graciously given to me by God. I want it to be hard and miserable, but also enlightening. It should take me about 3 months so I'll start off in May or early June. Once I get home, everything goes back to normal and I begin work again, closing the previous chapter of my life to begin a brand new one. Ideally. Either that or I die somewhere along the way, and I won't have to worry about it anymore.
