Hey CY,

I would love to have an answer for you, but I’m not sure there is one exactly.

I’m in a similar position as you, going for nomad because I feel like I’m searching for something out there somewhere. Home, adventure, both, or something like that.

Something I’ve been thinking about recently is that it really is connection that I want. Like there’s a lost sense of self. Do you know that feeling when your heart is really pounding for something – like when you taker a risk for something you really want to do? That’s when I feel most whole, most like I know myself. It doesn’t need to be a rush, but it’s when I’m following my heart rather than that erratic head. Maybe it’s not that your friends are doing any better, you just want different things? Sometimes I find it really difficult measuring a low-budget vagabond type lifestyle against my friends doing PhDs and in fat-pay-cheque companies, or freelancing etc
Don’t worry. Relax. Trust me, it’s tough but worth it. You’re not ‘supposed’ to be anywhere specific. I know that’s tough; I used to think that by now I’d be living the rock star lifestyle in a beautiful place by the ocean with a girlfriend who I just clicked together with. It’s a very lonely feeling when you’re not only comparing yourself to what others are/have, but also the you that you thought you should be…

So, I can’t offer you an answer to bring a fantastic opportunity out of the sky, but I can offer you someone to talk with about it? Who knows, maybe we can work it out together! 🙂

Hugs!!
Kat.
