My mom has always told me that when I feel the worst about myself, I need to throw myself into the service of others. Well, as you guys know (and have been so understanding of) I have been feeling like honeysuckle. So I have been looking for some way to volunteer.
Right now I run the university sexual health centre, giving advice and free condoms/feminine hygiene products/pregnancy tests to students, as well as promoting non judgement and equality between genders and sexual orientations.
I my job I run birthday and craft classes for kids, and our store has community events that I volunteer at. So I do get out and do things.
But I feel like I need to get away from all that is my normal, past I've years day to day life. I can't afford a vacation, not really, but have started finding some opportunities to volunteer overseas for less than a vacation costs.
Now, taking into account the level of safety of some programs, as well as reputations, I have started research into what I want to do and how much it will cost. My oldest brother, who travels monthly for work, has millions of travel miles and is willing to find me a ticket to wherever I need to go.
It has given me a purpose, and it feels nice to have that. I have contacted a few places, once I hear back I can work on fundraising and paperwork.
I'm kind of excited. I wanted to share. All of my previous posts have been so depressing.
Funny, if I hadn't moved in with mom and dad again I would never have been able to consider this type of opportunity.
I will keep you informed!
