Living Life Sam Style

It's about time we stop existing, and start living.

Living Life Sam Style

Hi there! My name is Sam, and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I don’t have a grand plan, I don’t know what job I want, I have no idea where I want to live - in short - I am essentially just existing, but trying to find a way to start living. Sound familiar?

So I have decided to share my journey to anyone willing to listen. Who knows? I’m probably not the only one that feels like they’re just floating, and it’s always nice to not feel alone. So I invite you all to join me on this journey, leave comments, send a message, we can go through this life together.
