We all arrange our lives around our work, because that's what puts food on the table. But if you didn't need to work your current job, what would you do? What would be your ideal job, if any? And if not a job, then what?
For me, I am not sure. I certainly can't quit my job. But I'm in the process of buying a very rural, completely undeveloped piece of real estate. It's a big investment for me, but still a tiny fraction of the cost of a home. For now I can only go there on the weekends, because I work in the city, but I hope to someday be able to live there. I'm going to plant trees there, garden, stargaze. I want to build a yurt to stay in, with a wood stove for warmth. I'd love to feel more connected to the environment around me, and more responsible for providing for my own needs like food, water, shelter. I'm tired of living in the city. Right now, to me, it just feels like boxes within boxes.
So, what about you?
