So far becoming everything I've never wanted to be isn't that bad...

It's been six months since I moved to Germany, and four months since I've been working as an engineer. Long enough to realize that it's incredibly tempting to become comfortable in a privileged lifestyle, get focussed on getting a car, or a better apartment, or even starting a family. This time has served to make me a little less judgemental of other people and how at ease everyone seems to be with the way things are in the world. It's just too easy to get in a bubble and become content.
On the outside, things are excellent.
My job is as good as this type of job can be. I do consulting for Audi and VW... maybe even BMW in a while. How many people get to go into the main Audi and VW headquarters in Germany - and then give them advice? My school debts will be paid off soon, and the work is even interesting.
A couple weeks ago I was actually going to write this blog to boast a bit about how cool my job is, and how well things are going here in Germany. Now I am writing a request. Do not let me forget what I believe. Do not let me forget that there is more to life than a car or a house or living happily.
So yes, my job is excellent, things are going great in Germany, but this is only a stepping stone. Soon I will give it all away, but for now becoming everything I've never wanted to be isn't that bad.
