A dream of mine has just been re-awakened again.

Reading the experiences of somebody else who did it, I can feel, from the depths of my soul, the call. (Yes, it's another article from the same page I've been linking to all day. But his stuff is just too interesting not to read.)

I know that this isn't just some momentary mental mood spasm, because I've had thoughts along these lines for a long time, and even wrote about them occassionally.

Now, reading the account of somebody else who had the courage and planning to carry through, I know I must try it for myself.

This doesn't mean I can just pick up tomorrow and go. Planning and thought is required, and I need to get better at not spending all my money frivolously just because it's there.

But now that I know that this is what's in the cards for me, I can begin to prepare further for what is to come. It is simultaniously exhilarating and scary. This is the future. This is life.
