I want to find place when’re I can generally be content.
Unfortunately there’s no way to know until you try something, and even then many things require significant time cost which is unrecoverable if I fail. That’s not a problem for something it takes a year or two to achieve, but if something takes 10 years or an indefinite it become as a concern.
Occasionally, I’ll get the thought that I should just settle down with whatever I can get now and make the most of it… then I try to imagine myself 20 years down the line and forget about that.
