RE: Living in Thailand, 5 years later

You certainly have found your home and heart in Thailand. No material possession nor large amount of money can equate to having peace of mind, inner happiness, and contentment. The need to acquire vast wealth sometimes drive people to overwork thus resulting to a stressful routine; and people get caught up in this cycle that is hard to escape from. Embarking on a new journey can really be nerve-racking, but in the end, your journey led you to a new realization about life and one's purpose.

I still work pretty hard but at the same time the price of life over here and as it turns out, most of the world, is so low that you don't have to work nearly as hard over here just to make it. When I hear stories about the amount of rent that my friends in various cities in the USA are paying I am just astounded and find it hard to believe that anyone can get ahead.

I agree, how can a person get ahead if they are already burdened by such financial obligations. However, our choice partly directs our path. It's not easy either to just leave due to different factors. Indeed, our journeys are different because of the decisions that we choose for ourselves.
