Now That's What I'm Talking About

Exactly a year ago to the day, I quit my solid job at Yahoo! to aim for something freer. I wanted to take risks and try a ton of things out, whether it be pole dancing classes or living on my own (for the first time ever!). In the last year, I've become addicted to the freelance lifestyle, starting with the fact that my daily commute consists of a half-awake stumble from my bed to the den.

Tomorrow, I head to London for three months (and get to keep my current writing gig), which is pretty much the best way I could have expected this year to end. I jumped into this whole freelance thing without fear, despite the fact that near the beginning, two whole months went by without a single gig. And the way things are headed in the economy, I'm sure that won't be the last time I wonder where my next paycheck is coming from. Still, the money has managed to work out roughly even, and the trade-off is incredible, unbelievable amounts of freedom.

It reminds me of the cheesy inspirational line: what would you do if you knew you could not fail?

I think leaving the country for three months with one of my favorite people is a pretty good start.
