Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...
I heard yesterday that my boss is leaving.. My original thoughts about why he was, were slightly wrong, but this post really isn't about the rights and wrongs, just the facts...
I realized last night, after hearing the news, that I am beholden to no-one now, or only the thread of responsibility holds me any place. I have no mortgage; I am no longer with Dawn; I don't have a cat; and my boss who I had promised to stay through his tenure, has his tenure ending. I have nothing that requires me to be here.
Sure, I still have some responsibilities. I have some debt, including a car loan. I have precious friends. And most importantly I have an idea that is worth dedicating my life to. But none of these specifically mean I need to stay in Loomis, or the United States.
So I'm looking at the world, from Israel to Ghana to Ireland to England to India to anywhere else and opening my mind. Should I stay or should I go?
