Am I making a mistake?
Ok some context:
Male
Freshly 27
Aussie
Out of a 5 year relationship a year and a half ago.
Psychology every 3 weeks, grinding in the gym, work, keeping good friends close and investing time into healthy relationships. Haven’t felt like partnering any time soon. I feel like I have made a really safe, healthy environment for myself, but I really want to shake things up. I’ve travelled before, 2 weeks here, 4 weeks there. Very fortunate. I have my bachelors degree and a 6 figure job which currently really like me.
I have a beautiful flat which is super comfortable and has such nice furniture my partner and I got during the relationship which will all be sold / donated. All my camping gear, house plants etc. gone. Momentous I will store at my parent’s place in a mere couple of tubs.
Sold my nice car, my boat, my office studio.
All of it is going. I feel like I got in the 9-5 corp life 6 figures really young and I am forever grateful.
I absolutely love travel / backpacking. I am saving with the intention of travelling full time from October. Talking hiking in Nepal for 1 month to start, ski season in Austria working holiday, summer season in Greece or Spain again working holiday, and just travelling as much and for as long as possible. I am thinking $50k aud for travel, $50k to come back to.
Today I booked all my flights and the countdown is on. But I cannot help but feel so unhappy / sad / confused.
Some questions I have
- I want to study a course in psychology but man, it’s 6 years long but it seems like the right career path?
- will I be too old to be studying?
- am I making a mistake in starting over and getting rid of everything?
- am I making the right decision at 27?
- am I just going to further isolate myself?
- coming back I will likely live with my parents until I have a job. God i don’t want to be doing the same damn job
All I ask for is no judgmental or hurtful comments please. 🙏🏽
