Following on from the previous person's travelling lifestyle and only working when they want to work, and work on things that they want to, I have children young children which makes it a little more difficult. However, there have been times in my life when I've just packed up, jumped in my vehicle and driven wherever. It's very liberating.

This type of thinking may come from my near death accident 23 years ago or maybe it's a personal trait that I've always had, don't know. Personally speaking, believing in the system that's presented to us from a very young age is not healthy for society or yourself, sometimes you just need to embrace the fear of uncertainty and go for it.

It's great that you're no longer near death. I love you.
