I want a place to document my journey, and if someone finds this blog and thinks it’s helpful or entertaining, then I will consider it a bonus
Keywords: Retirement
But mostly, this is a place for me to track my progress to a life lived unconstrained by corporate guardrails, schedules, emails and Slack messages. I write this for me, but I welcome others who may be curious about life as a retiree, and those who have already walked the path. Writing is my therapy, and I invite you to draw back the curtain on retirement with me.

I decided for the first however many months (timeframe subject to life and vibes) I would only create stuff I wanted to for fun

Some would argue writing and art should never be an obligation, but those people probably haven’t attempted to write a novel. If they have, I doubt they’ve finished a first draft. At least not in under a decade. You can overall want to do something and still need to schedule the day to day work of it and give yourself a little carrot/stick to get started. Also pattern design is kind of my day job, and day jobs care nothing for organically occurring motivation. You just gotta do them.

Why in the world would I want to go to Antarctica?
Keywords: {0}
I’m here to tell you, there are a lot of reasons. One of the simplest reasons is that I adore adventure. I’ve always enjoyed traveling. “Not all those who wander are lost.” I realized a few years ago that I’ve lived on 3 different continents and that I had traveled to 4 at the time. Now, it’s 5. When I had that realization, I gave myself a goal to visit every continent before I’m 30, because reaching every country even within a lifetime (like I would like to do) seems a little unattainable when you don’t have a remote job or a job related to traveling. I started looking into traveling to Antarctica and learned two things: 1) it’s super expensive (it’s a minimum of $10,000 to get out there) and 2) it’s really bad for the environment. The amount of resources wasted for 3 days on the southernmost continent is just not justifiable for personal pleasure. Then I learned about the opportunity to work out there. I have been applying over the past couple of years and finally got the offer. Right now feels like the perfect time to go, since my current stage of life makes it a little easier to pursue an extended trip away from “normal” life. I know things like having a house, being an aunt/mom, owning pets, etc would make a job like this hard to leave for, so I’m really glad I was able to get this role when I did.

If I want to focus on making art and create something valuable, I will continue living in a house share, pretending I’m twenty, and thinking of which industry to re-train into, so that I can financially support my heart’s calling and basic necessities like feeding and dressing myself

I really enjoyed university, so I don’t regret it. I don’t see it as a guarantee for getting a job anymore, I see it as a place for governments to put their capital. Loaned to the youth lest it loses its value sitting around untouched, due to the inflation which they have created. I see it as a way to make my parents happy. As a way to accumulate and question knowledge. A place to have debates. Somewhere to directly or indirectly gain knowledge about how the world works.

I want my work to be rewarding and I want to feel productive most days
Keywords: work
I want to be helping people in some form and I want to be able to collaborate on things with people. I can’t imagine being holed up in an office all day alone. My dream job allows me to take a nice long lunch break too, so I can go on a walk to a nice restaurant with some coworkers and debrief about my morning.

I’ve been interested in fashion and fashion design since I got my first set of Fashion Plates when I was 5
Keywords: {0}
Who remembers those? Ever since then I knew fashion was what I wanted to do. But I didn’t. I followed a different route. One where I knew jobs were always going to be available and where I knew I would make a decent income. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my career choice. I still find it challenging and interesting. But fashion is where I really get happy!

I WANTED THAT JOB AND I GOT IT

Here I am 4 months into the job, set up on my own clinics on a Monday morning and currently on the train to Chester doing my clinical exam. We’ve been to London to a Pre-Op conference and I have the privilege to work with the most amazing supportive team. It really is onwards and upwards from here and I’m so proud of myself for how far I’ve come in such a short 3 years.

I want more in my life than *just* Yoast
Keywords: Personal , CEO , stepping down , Thijs de Valk , Yoast
Joost and I have four children and I really want to spend more time with them. I think we did a great job of combining a growing company with a growing family, but they are growing up so fast: I just don’t want to miss it! And, I have a million other dreams: I have an unpublished novel I would love to finish. In the future, I would also love to do some teaching (at universities for instance) in the field of online marketing.

Even if I had all of the money in the world, I would probably want to be doing what I’m doing
Keywords: {0}
I got a job! It’s going to be working at a bike rental shop fixing and renting out bikes. Generally, I will be interacting with people and teaching them the joy of mountain biking every day. Sounds like a good vibe, and my fellow co-workers will definitely be spunky and energetic people. Obviously, this isn’t going to pay me as much money as working in big tech did, but that’s okay. If I wanted money, I would be doing that. I remember talking about building a life you don’t want to escape from in Heroin in Vietnam. While I was working for Amazon, I was obsessed with the idea of retirement. Optimizing and being as efficient with my money as possible to not have to work anymore. I’ve realized it’s a bit silly to do something you don’t like for the sole purpose of not having to do that thing anymore, but having more. I know that there is a constancy of work to life, and therefore even if I were to “escape” the corporate life, I would still have to do work every day. All of the money I made while holding a firehose of cash would probably just sit in an investment account for the rest of my life, and I could do what I wanted. I think, right now, I truly want to work at this bike shop.
