Wanting to leave? Do tell." Long story short, I created a remote work arrangement which gave me, by most standards, both freedom and security. But I discovered that something was still missing: meaning. Blog coming soon :) @Genny My dad died of cancer when I was 22. Well, cancer was the means, but what really killed him was the job he hated. @Lisa “perfect job? Wanting to leave?

Having been there through much of it I vividly remember many of those posts hitting my reader and being very excited for the life you were creating for yourself. And you are so right, it isn't as easy as just deciding one day to jump (at least not for most people.) The timeline you are able to define is great. Congrats on being an evolutionary being! :) Sean – What a great way to share the “journey” you’ve been on with folks.

It may be that some things that Sean writes about don't pertain to me or don't interest me. I've learned to take and apply those things that do and just discard the rest. That said, I've learned a lot from Sean and this blog. He has inspired me to take the first steps towards my dream of living overseas. Sean has helped me both directly and indirectly to work through my inner fears. But at the end of the day I have to take responsibility for my own life. No one can live my life for me. It's up to me and me alone to change my destiny. Getting depressed about where I am in life or where I am not in life gets me nowhere. Applying direct action to my present circumstances is the only way that I can improve my situation. Reading this blog can give you courage to change if you take it in the light that it was given, keep an open mind and apply action to your own life.

Sometimes, in order to make these big life changing decisions, you do have to hurt someone else, or at least make them unhappy. Someone who would rather you would stay with them. It could be an aging parent, a good friend, or a lover. I've lived abroad myself, and saw how many relationships it destroyed as well as created. I count myself as one of the fortunate ones because, for the most part, my loved ones were happy to see me off at the airport and welcomed me back when I came home. They still roll their eyes when they look at my life (I'm a writer by trade, while the rest of my family are scientists, literally people who work in field that save lives such as medicine). I know my life seems frivolous to them at some level. But they don't press the point, and they're happy to see me happy, even though I have chosen a life different from theirs. It certainly causes misunderstandings, but we work through it. In the end, I know we should surround ourselves with people who care about us. They should always be happy for us. But life sometimes puts you in relationships, especially regarding family, that you don't get to choose. And life sometimes does get into the way of doing the things we want to do - you have a child, you want to take care of your sick grandparent, etc. It is hard to make those kinds of choices, and although I commend the people who can throw everything away and live life as an adventure, I also commend people who can put aside their dreams and desires for others.
