Here in Europe, it's the same story: the social pressure to follow a conventional path is strong. Like you, I've always desired and looked for a free and unpredictable life. When family and responsibilities came along, I had to find a balance between my desire for freedom and society's expectations. But now that my daughters are grown up, I feel that call again to break free from the norm and live more authentically and freely, because life is too short to live according to others' expectations.
