As a bit of a nomad, I rarely advise people to stay where they are if they feel the need to explore. You're young, you have no huge ties binding you to where you are. Save up some money, research some cities, and head out! You may find exactly what you're looking for, or it may be a horrible disaster. But either way, you tried. And even if you hate it, you'll know more about what you don't want, which will help narrow down what you do want. That's the biggest takeaway from my last 3 moves - a long list of things I'm not looking for, and a shorter list of the things I am. And every move came with wonderful new experiences and stories, both good and bad. And isn't that what life is about - the experiences?

^^^ I gotta say- I second that post.

I've taken huge risks-
Some turned out extraordinarily amazing.
Other risks failed.

But guess what??

I'll never ever classified as someone who played it safe in life....

Sometimes you have to stop overanalyzing the situation, & just do it.
Action is the key, not talk.

Maybe you just need a change of scenery. Can you move out but stay close to your partner, job, and family?

[or a nice long vacation]
