Back to reality!

Well that's what everyone keeps telling me... and its probably fair enough - unpaid volunteer work out in the Canadian boonies isn't going to keep me going forever, but its really depressing that so many of my friends (mostly the English ones, with jobs and houses) feel like this is the only 'reality' available. "You can head off somewhere for a bit, but its not a proper way to do things, long term, I mean, what about your pension arrangements..." Ok, no one actually said THAT, but you get the idea. They revelled in my misery at being back on the tube. "Ahhh, you thought you could escape..."

I know I'm often the same about things - those fundamental ideas of who you are and what you do, often coming down to only being able to live in a certain place doing a fairly limited range of certain jobs - but its crap when you have a look outside that invisible box you make for yourself, it makes you realise how it can trap you. Keeping objective, thats the thing isn't it? Nietzsche and all that malarky...
