So about 4 months ago I left a job which was ruining my life, and causing me some pretty bad health problems. Best thing I ever did, life is so much better now. I'm not sure how to put this. I'm still not happy. I this feeling that I am ready to move on. Just ready to fully close the last chapter and start a new one. Lately I've had this desire to buy some land in the mountains and build a cabin. Problem is not really any mountains in central Texas. Not sure what I would do for money, maybe try to find a job where I can work remotely. So I guess has anyone else gone through something simular? What did you do? Did you ever figure what you want to be when you grow up?
Hi, I can relate. I used to do retail customer service and sales. It drove me pretty much buggy. Now I am in the first year of starting a small organic farm on family land in the southern part of Oregon. The whole thing is harder than I ever would have imagined, but I'll only be dealing with customers once a week at market, and the rest of the time it's just me and the land and the plants. I'm poorer than a church mouse, and probably always will be, but I can feed myself and others, have a little trailer to call my own, and the peace of mind that comes from not having to pretend to be social 40+ hours a week.
Well I thought about this some overnight and today. I think I am going to start to start by tackling some of the projects I want to do. I'm going to start by restoring my car. Good news is that is really good condition for a 16 year old car. Just going to fix all of the little things that are broke on it.
I did. Sort of. Bit I think I realized that happiness isn't somewhere else. I've found happiness in Nowhere, NM and Los Angeles CA. Yes, do see if there's a place you might want to try living but don't expect all the answers to be there. Lex
