I think it means it’s time for a change. Deeper than physical.
I feel similarly. A few years ago I bought a van and traveled the us full time with my son. It was incredible, but I still wondered where my joy went. And I think it’s growing older and realizing you’re stuck in a redundant cycle that has no end. Even your kids will be subjected to it. School-work- marriage-kids-die. You don’t have enough time or energy left for deeper more personal experiences with yourself. I know I sound crazy but I think that is what those who control our societies want. If we think for ourselves, we won’t support the system that lines their pockets. If we aren’t consumers, working to pay for unnecessary extravagances and the basics that should be a right, we fear what people will think. We fear being outcast.
As an outcast, I can tell you it’s more interesting, but nobody around you will get it. Nobody will share your joy, they’ll be jealous or uncaring.
All I can say is, do some crazy shit.
