>>2187323>I think I've spent my whole life chasing someone elses idea of success and when I finally have it in my hands I realized that this was never what I truly wanted.You can't blame yourself for that, thats the years of academia you were told would bring you happiness when the reality is it just extruded you through a mold telling to do your best at helping the bottom line with 'personalized' bells and whistles. Thats not me saying all schooling is bad, just saying it victimizes people in much the same way military recuiters do... but thats enough /pol/ on /out/.
You sound smart and thats a lot more than some 22 year olds can say, there's no doubt in my mind that you can make it all happen, my suggestion would be not to burn bridges though. The house can be sold and another acquired with your connections, but your parents forever looking down their nose at you for your 'hippie spiritual journey' that you never brought up with them before making the decision is hard to set right again, even if it really isnt their decision to make at this point in your life. Talk to people in your life and kinda gauge everyones responses to your idea/ plan.. parents, friends, co workers, that random gas station clerk you get along with.. Some people might shoot you down and others might completely agree with you, but all of them could offer insight you hadn't considered.
