Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I am nomadic by nature. I find it difficult to stay in any one place for any length of time. 

This has always led me to great adventures. I have been lucky enough to travel a good portion of the world and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. In fact, the more traveling I do, the more I want to be on the road. 

Living a quote on quote "normal" life, in one place, working a 9-5 with all the stability and comforts most people work toward, has just never really appealed to me. Unfortunately, acquiring other notables in my life (like an education and a support network) requires a commitment to place. At least in some capacity. Or so I've been told.

For the last year, I have committed myself back in the city I grew up in. The city that I have the widest network and the most resources at my fingers. I am working - the closest thing I think I ever will - to a 9-5, and developing those notables I apparently want. Yet, despite all of this, I feel more disconnected to place than ever. 

My goal then = figuring out how to live a life of adventure + achieve my dreams.
Working backwards helps.
