Last week marked the 3 month point since I finished my well paid "professional" job and started living a different life. At that time I thought it would be a breeze to transition from a job I had whole heartedly enjoyed but ended up feeling more like a trap. I mean, who hasn't dreamed about the fun to be had living with no fixed address or job to tie you down???
But much to my surprise I initially missed my former life...well some parts of it anyway (the routine, my friends and colleagues, even the sense of satisfaction from "making a difference" in peoples' lives). It was hard....
