Also the main motivator for me to re-focus to see whether the problem is me (very possible) and my lost priorities. One question is whether I want to live in a city at all, whether I'm ready to live in a more rural area, in which case I'd head back East, where the land is more interesting and the spaces between not so vast. Right now the goal is to use the next year to try to live the life I came here to live in the first place. For the cost of living, Chicago has a lot more to offer than other places.

Or, you can leave, in which case that opportunity is lost.<br />There is no guarantee that the next place you go to will have your ideal set of attributes, opposite of those you find in metro Chicago.Nedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662295996306750526noreply@blogger.com
