LOVED THIS PIECE. It really resonated with me. I too am someone who is constantly hopping from one thing to another tirelessly in search of challenges/intrigue. And needed to hear about your experience as I make my own big choices this year. <3 thanks for this.
I had the same conversion with a therapist last year. I had the impression that after achieving a step in my life, I was already looking at the exit or a fresh new air. Then she asked me “are you actually really bored or are you trying to escape your fears?”. It made me realized that it was more the second option. Your thoughts are very true. Is it not nice to enjoy sometimes the luxury of the routine? It is scaring but changing your directions every 2 mins is also scaring and exhausting. Your mind is constantly in new environments, trying to adapt again. I don’t know which path is the best but I feel your words. I like what you said about your apartment. You find the perfect environment that finally influenced you to stay. Maybe one day you will feel the same with another challenge in your life. Your partner, your work or a project that will give you the most comfortable seat. Happy Wednesday genius.
having a lot of similar thoughts now. I love NYC but I first moved here in 2009, am getting married this summer, feel like if I wanted to live abroad I’d want to while I am still young(ish) 😅
letting myself wonder about it all, as opposed to it being a point of anxiety :)

Thank you Diane! Sometimes the mundane is not so bad! And for your big choices, you know I support you!
