This post is about modern ways to live, by the age of 21 i tought in a few years i would have a nive flat, drive a cool midaged porsche and play games on a 60 inch flatscreen in my free time. But today i would hate myself if i became that person.

This questions about life appered the first time for me when i saw the movie “Trainspotting (1996)” at a younger age.

“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?”

I need to admitt, i'm for sure not choosing heroin instead, but i think this has a point. Why do the things everyone expects from you because other people think they are desirable? So i'm not choosing materialism, not choosing safety, not choosing what i think is boring maybe even never choosing family.

I wanna stay in motion, travel, explore, be flexible and not bounded. By the end of 2022 everything i want to own is :

• 1 Motorcycle
• 1 Downhill MTB
• Sporting Equipment
• Tablet, Laptop, Smartphone
• Travel/Camping/Motorcycle Gear
• Clothes
• My few cheap, replaceable pieces furniture

And i have already almost reached this goal. every single thing i own fits in a small garage, so if i wanna leave germany, there are not many obstacles. Don't get me wrong, i am not poor or something, i've had luck after my masters degree and doing financially really good now, but i'd like to safe up for a world trip before studying mechanical engineering in berlin. My life is cheap, like 700 bucks a month in an shared house with 3 other dudes. And at the moment that's pretty much the only thing i do, bringing money to the bank because i'm idealistic not stupid. freedom. is. expensive.

And will probably ever be, maybe it will even cost you things who are way more important than money, but i think it is worth it.
