I had an interesting thought today.  If, in my 20s, I had done what I’m doing now, people would say I was traveling and living abroad to find myself.  I thought, what an interesting twisted concept.  So many times I’ve heard people say they are taking time off to find themselves.  It’s self identification that is the source of issues.  And yet, finding oneself is often a lofty goal.  On many occasions, when people ask why I moved abroad, I said to shake things up, to get lost.  I’m trying to lose myself.
