RE: Get to Know Me - I was a Whitewater Rafting Guide
A fine "life" story. It's great that you made the decisions to sell your condo, then move out of your apartment, and keep moving closer and closer to FREEDOM.
It must've taken courage to make those changes, but for some people, there is no alternative. You seem to be one of those people for whom the normal life / career was not sufficient and not entirely acceptable.
Also, it's great that you documented it, and great that you could document / publicize it here on Steemit. Hopefully, some other young people who are considering escaping their lives of "quiet desperation" see your post, decide to " go in a new direction," and do whatever needs to be done to find their own freedom.
To you and them ... FULL STEEM AHEAD.
It definitely was a little scary making that change, but in the end there was more excitement than fear. It came down to the fact that at my core I knew it was the right direction I needed to take my life in and I also had enough trust in myself and capabilities to know that whatever happened I'd still land on my feet.
It was a leap of faith, but one taken knowing that wherever I might've landed it'd be a better spot than where I was. As tends to happen with those kind of events, it ended up delivering me more joy and fulfillment in life than I could've imagined.
Thanks for the awesome comment, steem on!
One more brief observation re this topic.
I've also found that even when we are confronted by major changes that we do NOT make ourselves, but changes that someone else or something else imposes on us, changes that make it appear as if we are a "victim of circumstances," ... even in those cases, the change is always, in certain ways, a change for the better.
We have nothing to fear, we will always land on our feet, we will always survive (as long as we are alive. Duh.) , and we will always keep moving full steem ahead.
Yes, indeed, we're guaranteed to wake up everyday until we don't :)
and as long as we're alive we have a say in our life.
