Hi! Its the hardest part to leave the crowd and the things we were raised to know as "life". For me it took years before I ended up leaving,although i did go live in thailand and west africa,but then i still had to come back when money was finished,and start the same shit again,look for a job,look for a room to rent. Wow, its the definition of insanity!

What you say about shackles.. I dont think we get to " put them on" they are put on by firstly our parents as they have them,and the gran had them,its NORMAL - everybody else is doing it,so that must be life!!
When the bubble bursts and your seeing that everything isnt right, then you have already left the crowed. What remains is the conditioned mind that your left to cope with- the you who wants to start fresh and the mind whos says "yeh but.." Or "what if"..

The people who were my mates in England are pritty much envious that I did something with life and i know my family are too. Its great to be a freak and be different,everyone trys to be different even though in society individulism goes only so far as the illusion of freedom that one think they have,its all very limited to conformaty.
If i had a mortgage, i would cancel it 100%. Unless there was a year or two left to pay. I wouldnt buy land because at the end of the day you will have a piece of paper saying that you own that plot, but we all learn that pieces of paper (cash,contracts,parking tickets,certificates) ARE ALL JUST PIECES OF PAPER! And oneday id guess in 10 years,all pieces of paper will be worthless. 800,000,000 jobs will be nonexisting in 15years or less due to technology and how many years is a mortgage?!

I fancy the chances of buying a huge boat with cash and NOT registering it,keeping the reciept, and go to find an island,or hidden continents with all the left over cash turned into silver and gold :)

Sounds though like a good start to a change that your both making, the futures scary but fun! Hey if the changes you make dont work out then just go back,put ya chains back on and forget your dreams. But who the hell does that once they wake up- nobody lol. Theres many people already done it,but they dont live in the concrete shitholes 😁 nature smells much better! Oh wait fuck - freedom smells much better i meant! Ok freedom in nature then. Sleep now but we chat more!
