What Is Your Definition of Your Dream Life?

I think it's having the freedom to work And do my hobbies at the same time um, I'm not necessarily very at because I I'm a workaholic. The k-dramas part is sort of lacking. But that dream life would be like totally Open to just sit on the couch and just watch dramas without like regret That's a that's a pretty lame dream life, right? No, it's a dream life. You're already working and you can take a break to watch a k-drama if you want I can't no one's so cute. Oh Okay, so it's it's learning to let go of that workaholic guilt, right?

Speaker 1
It was perfect Wow, that's so fun But thanks for giving us those ideas and also like you know mentioning online There are so many platforms and resources to like meet people Our discord being one of them because we have people from all over the world Um, yeah, love that Uh, and I'm also curious. Are you do you envision your life staying in japan? You seem like you really enjoy it So what is in the future for you? Oh, yes, everybody asked me that Yeah, especially my mom she's like the other days like probably missus Finny years. Um the answer and I always say this two more years Every year you ask me I say two years you have someone you have a partner, right? Yes American Okay, we're both from boston But I think this time it really is two more years because last year I said three years so And uh, the actually the end goal is not black to boston. It's um to australia I'm actually born in phoege and I so i've been australia from there and um australia has healthcare Universal healthcare it has more gun laws. Um, I don't want to take it that direction But like it's just a bit safer. I think if I have kids I I'd be very much happier to have my kids go to school Um and not worry too much. So that's sort of the the the plan. Yeah, okay. Okay And on that note, I was going to ask you like do what is your definition of your dream life? And how far along do you feel on that journey? I? I think it's having the freedom to work And do my hobbies at the same time um, I'm not necessarily very at because I I'm a workaholic And uh, I I so I don't do the hobbies that I want to do with what are the hobbies that you want to do I'll define hobbies as things I do to relax. And so that's going to be um going on walks. I truly love going on walks Um, that is not for exercise is literally something I just love like listening to podcasts like and music anyway walks and then watching k-dramas like of course Um, so right now those are the two hobbies. So The k-dramas part is sort of lacking. Um, I don't like sitting down too much So it's sort of hard, but like that dream life would be like totally Open to just sit on the couch and just watch dramas without like regret That's a that's a pretty lame dream life, right? No, it's a dream life. I'm like, you can do that dream life now You're already working and you can take a break to watch a k-drama if you want I can't no one's so cute. Oh Okay, so it's it's learning to let go of that workaholic guilt, right? Yeah, it's okay. It's a journey It is and I yeah, you say that all the time. It is it's a journey Just it's fine. The follow up question was how far along do you feel on that journey? Like towards your dream life. I think it's pretty good. Um, I'm really having with my job Uh, like my night my full-time job They give me the flexibility to have freelance meetings in the in the middle of it And that's something that's so rare, right?
