"Living the dream?" But beneath the sun-kissed beaches of Samui, I felt lost 😔 far from the paradise I'd imagined. Endless meetings at luxurious 5-star resorts tantalising with promises for the future, yet resulting in scant action.
On the islands, it seemed most people's dream was to do as little work as possible 🏖️. There were families, heavy drinkers, and bourgeois spiritual seekers who needed a week to "process" if there was no almond milk at the barista coffee shop or a full moon.
Many people here were running away, stuck in Peter Pan syndrome or overcorrecting from the rat race they'd burned out from. But I didn’t come to Thailand just to sit on a beach and wait 🌊.
I came here to make a mark, to create, to contribute and to help people in the real world🌍.
The island was full of maybe "next week" people with "sabi sabi" "next week" energy.
I was about "NOW" ⏱️.
Something needed to change. So I planned a week-long trip to Bangkok, I was on a mission.
