Yes I got the memo. It was on my desk this morning when I got to work and it made my heart ache for the trail. It's not important what the memo said (half the time they don't pertain to me anyways) but I long for a memo-free life of hiking and exploring. How do people do it; sit at a desk all day and enjoy being there. Then again, how do some people give up that life of stability for one of wandering. I have a friend that works here and there just long enough to save up enough money for his next adventure and my cousin works odd jobs while living in a tiny house in the mountains of California. Perhaps I need to do some soul searching. I'm planning on a thru-hike of the AT and perhaps the FT next year but I wonder about what comes next. Ugh.
Sorry, don't mean to let out my anxiety on here but I was wondering how many of you have just gone for it; given it all up and taken that leap into instability and exploration. I've been doing a little better at this (I spent a week in Vietnam -- not nearly long enough to truly enjoy it -- and I'll be in Guatemala at the end of this month) but I'm still stuck in the 9-5 grind.
Thanks for any advice you can offer...
