I've re-read the thread I made the other day, about leaving the country, all the responses and everything a few times over and I really appreciate the advice and perspectives. Everything from francopoli telling me to look into cost of living situations to kleinbl00 telling me to take things one step at a time to briandmyers subtly suggesting that America isn't necessarily the greatest country on earth (nice try there buddy). Even though I didn't respond to the comment, in thread, I gotta say I also really appreciate goobster's response, both for the good advice in general but also for a second message that I need to take to heart and that's not being afraid to try, because if I'm resourceful and stick with it, I'll come out on top.

I think I'm at a lot of pivot points in my life, living situation, career situation, and social life situation and I dunno. This shit is hard to figure out and I feel horribly overwhelmed. I found my hubcap collection the other day, took a good long look at it and realized I don't need it, so I'm gonna go through some of my other stuff and figure out what else to let go of. I know I've been talking about selling my antique books for forever. Going through my stuff might help me think.

Anyhow, I think I'm gonna cut back on my Hubski time a bit so I can focus more on life. I'm not disappearing altogether, hell, I'll probably lurk quite a bit, but we will see where things are going. I hope this doesn't sound mushy. I'm trying to not sound mushy. You guys are all awesome by the way.
