It's true: we all get old. And one day, when we do, we might ask ourselves was it all worth it? Did I do the things I wanted. All those questions. But, in the end you can't look back...what's the expression? Hindsight is 20/20 or something? You have to live the life you WANT to live now. If that's out on the road (and paychecks aren't always that regular out there) then good. If it's "at home" because that's where the friends and family and lovers are, then it's also good. Just live whatever you are doing to the full. Don't look at the things binding you or keeping you trapped; honour the choices you're making for yourself...right now.

I have the same fantasy too. I just wanna escape and start a new life somewhere. But I guess what you wrote about people needing you in your life is true too. This is why mini getaways and vacations are necessary. You can escape, do things you like at least for a while.

Ps. Sending prayers to my grandmother. Wish her feeling better soon.

I have that same fantasy.
