We're going on an adventure!

The moment things turned inevitably in this direction wasn't really the beginning, it was much more like an event horizon. various ideas bandied about some half jokingly, some just there as a safety net to make the impending move somehow less stressful.

what we came up with looks, from here, to make everything less stressful, for good. surely there will be new hardships, tests, trials, yadda yadda, but if you knew us you could probably visualize how a broken blackwater drain in a sleet storm still seems appealing from where we sit today.

for me anyway there was a switch, another one of those very few times in my life where I nuke the bridge and dive off the cliff, all-in.  It has been awhile but each time I gained something that would have been forever out of reach had I played it safe, can't say with such few samples this will be the same but its my MO; question everything, strip it all the way down and don't put a damn thing back that can't stand up on its own merits.

distill everything down to only the best essential parts, take each 'thing' in our lives and feel the weight of having to own it and ask, is this beautiful, its this the best of what it is for us and do we even need it at all.

the dream then is to be truly free unburdened by everything that does not bring joy and the massive weight of paying for a place for it to all collect dust.

you can't really walk away, but just maybe you can drive.
