Not all who wander are lost.

Don’t we all wander at some stage of our lives? I think its part of human nature to be a little lost at times and delve from your destiny. I used to be wanderer and not just any kind I used to be the I’m-a-IT-whiz-kid kind wanderer.

I wasn’t lost I just knew I had to get out of my hometown at that stage of my life. I wanted to be a CITYzen (get it?) and do random courses. Not because I didn’t know what I wanted to do but because I wanted to do so much. After a chat with parents I soon realized that this was not going to happen. “Engineering, IT or science”. Huh? What happened to making your own choices in life and the whole you can be whatever you wish to be thing? After a year I dropped out, no more Cobol for meJ.

I eventually ended up where I am to because of all of that and although it took longer than intended. See the thing is I wasn’t moving about without any goals and I surely wasn’t going to give up. The wandering made me realize that no matter where I find myself I should always look at the goals future I set out for myself.
