Although it has affected almost every aspect of my day to day life, quitting my job and traveling is something I seldom talk about. I’m not one for dramatic posts or anything of that nature; I much prefer hiding behind my safe comedic shell that I’ve grown so comfortable in all my life. But the problem with that is I didn’t just quit my job and travel for the lols. So quippy response to those of you who have asked about my life situation has left me frustrated with myself - because there is so much more I want to say but I just don’t know how.

Let’s rewind!

I’ve told myself “it’s okay, it’s fine, just get through it, life will be better after **\_\_** for my entire life. Whether it was high school, college, a bad week, a bad month, a bad year, it was always my mindset to say to myself “after X is over, you can finally be happy” Turns out I making plans for a future which I would never be able to enjoy. I always was living for some future that simply didn’t exist. Even after the amount of times I’ve told myself, “after THIS hardship, life will be great and you will have obtained SUCCESS and HAPPINESS” I never did. Some relief? Perhaps. Success? Maybe to some. But happy, no.

Upon realizing I was setting myself up for lifelong discontentment, I went through an extremely transformative phase. I had to unlearn a lot of unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. But for the first time since I was a child I can look in the mirror and feel love for myself. My growth has not been linear, but I felt like the universe gave me the loving guidance that I needed and didn’t even know I was looking for.

I can’t exactly explain how I got the push to change my life. To be honest, it might be impossible. I trust that I’m put on this path of growth by unfathomable forces. But finding the peace, the simple “being” in the present moment is what’s real and I haven’t been wishing my life away since. Sounds a lot easier than it is though.

Now what does this have to do with traveling? Welp I’m treating my life as a game now. I’m aware that kind of sounds a tad bit loopy, so let me explain. My life before was a laundry list of goals that I was convinced would lead me to the ultimate Success. All the things I did in my past were part of a larger plan that would make me FINALLY be Happy™. Clearly that wasn’t working out for me, so I decided to quit and travel for the following reasons: 1) because I wanted to and 2) because I was bored. Doing something without a big ”end goal” is liberating!!!!

I will end with this: It is my wish for all of you to do things so you remember who you are and trust your heart. When something doesn’t feel right in your life, I pray you dig deep and find the inspiration to change it. Never, ever forget to dream. Remember: we’re in this together, life is short but insanely special, and my hand is always there to hold ❣️


why i quit my job to travel in 2019

per aspera ad astra


It's @\*!&ing hard to write but I'm forcing myself to because honestly I know it'll be good in the long run and I just built this goddamn site for a week to do it so I must.

Does anyone else have a reoccurring dream but like the place is the thing that is reoccurring? Like this particular weirdo mall pops up in my dream every so often. I think it's the mall near my house but like in my dream it's like…my child perception of it? The ceilings and the doorways to the stores are so high and it's just so giant. Also I love that I'm asking a question as if anyone can respond. Unfortunately this is a static website luv xx.

But anyway, I guess more about the site. It's super minimal and that's a feature. My website is the rebellion of the modern day website. First off, when you go to any mainstream website, 10,000 javascript animations hit your screen - it barely loads correctly. Then this annoying pop up asks you to sign your entire online privacy away. 🥰✅AGREE TO COOKIES💚😍 or 📂🙄Manage your Privacy..😒📝.

So what I'm hoping for is that people come to my website and feel peace. There is no craziness, no cookies, no ads, all the fat is cut out.

My website is my creative space on the internet, it'll probably change from time to time. I miss the days of personalizing a page i.e. MySpace and …I have to say it, Neopets.

Who knows what's next for sarahbizzarro.com, right now I'm just proud of myself for mustering up the motivation to code and it's made completely from scratch. and it's nice to be back Online even if no one reads this (for some context, I've given up Instagram and Twitter)

The modern internet is going the way of radio and cable TV. Every free site is going to be bombarded with advertisements until no one wants to go on it anymore. Ads are a plague that we can't seem to get rid of. But maybe everyone secretly wants Instagram to be their personal online shopper? Who knows. All I know is that advertisers love to strike when you're at your most vulnerable (i.e. "let me turn my brain off and go on YouTube") where they find a perfect place in your subconscious.

Don’t worry guys, I will not put ads on my website. But all this typing sure has made me thirsty so I think I'll be reaching for a nice, cold [INSERT SPONSORSHIP BEVERAGE ITEM HERE] after I've published this.
