I get this question, and give this answer, often these days. Just a few months ago, I pared down my possessions into a stack of boxes, packed my car with a few suitcases, and drove across the country from New York to California to ‘start anew’. Certain life events helped me make this decision, but mostly I was heading into the unknown, with only an internal compass guiding me to find a better direction, and risk getting lost in the process.
