Loved this. Having gone from lake-nestled suburb to Vietnam to Thailand to Toronto to bland suburb to rural cottage this year, this is so relatable for me. There's a palpable change in who I am and how I feel based on where I am. Environment isn't everything but it does really matter.

And love the conclusion you close with: "the most important thing is not where you live, but how you live when you get there." As you say, nothing and nowhere will save you. Some places better, others worse. But ultimately it's your mindset and actions that determine your reality, no matter the external circumstance.

Beautiful, smooth writing as always. Thanks for sharing buddy.

“It’s a surprise to most people, including myself, that they can actually have what they want.” I would love to hear you elaborate on this more some time, or at least share how your pursuit of this is going. Although I guess that’s a bit of what you’ve been doing all along.
