I love your honesty, and the conclusions you came to are right on. In my experience, the negative thoughts that try to bring me down can't take hold if I remember to be grateful for what I have. My man and I spent a few months in Central America, wondering if we wanted to relocate, but leaving everything you know and trying to find home in a new culture is a hard one. Some people can adapt quite well, but I'd rather stay in Canada and just take trips elsewhere.

Welcome back to Steemit. I just got here, and am glad to have found someone else who values gratitude and doing what you love!
