Hello Steve, Erin, and everyone who reads this.
I want to say thank you for being the courageous people you are and sharing so much with so many individuals.
I was always asked by so many people what I wanted to be when I grow up. Well, I'm 23 now and I'm not an inch closer to an answer. I've considered lots of different kinds of work, but all of it seemed either too hard to get started in, (novelist) or too far out of alignment from my own life, (wage slave).
I've acquiesced to living at a low level of awareness for most of my life, primarily out of fear of what may happen if I choose my own path. I'm all too conscious of the fact that I'm not living the life I want. So I've taken a step, and I am hoping to god that it's in the right direction.
Yesterday I quit my job. I've got about $1100 saved up and I'l be working there for probably another month saving up a bit more. My bills come to about 500 per month so I can't just sit around being afraid. I've chosen this path on purpose in order to motivate myself to finally do something with my life. It's way too easy to do nothing and live mooching off of other people, and I really don't want to do that anymore.
So I wanted to say thank you to all the people on these forums, but most of all to Steve and Erin because your words have meaning to me. Thanks for living consciously. Thank you because I really didn't know if it was possible until I found my way here.
