Oh let me tell you! I have so much drift in my life right now I could probably make my way to Japan in a few days’ time. In a way this drifting has been planned, or at least allocated. After years of rigid schooling, it was almost impossible to resist taking the opportunity to abandon that rigidity. Doing this drifting has allowed me to learn things about myself that I would have never learned otherwise. It has taken me in directions I never thought I had any interest in, like farming. Farming! I’m a city gal, raised on a computer and working for a big tech company, but this aimless drifting I’ve been doing this past year has let this desire to be a farmer surface to the top. So I currently feel confident in my drifting, I don’t feel as if I am wasting my time and money by not rushing out and buying a house/getting started farming/whatever. At the same time I am using this time to read books and gain knowledge for when I do choose to make this transition, saving money for the eventual house, etc. Drifting has allowed me to reflect on myself and decide what goals I am interested in pursuing over the next few years, and I have no doubt that I will continue to drift in some fashion for most of my life.
