## 11:43 changing mindset

this week i've realized how easy and free it is to be completely
independent. it takees a bit of self control, sure, and i think everyone
has work to do in that department – but thinking uncouples from home is
freeing. decoupling the idea of a living space from a home, work from
life and career is one necessary step towards self realization, i think.
i can work independent of my expectations, of a conventional life path,
of a path i *want* to pursue (even if it's not the most rational) and i
absolutely have the means to do so. i want to live in nature! limit my
access to the internet! i want to learn to treasure local, small
software to better approach technology in a minimal fashion. [some

realistically, even when overpaying for airbnbs for rent month by month,
finances often end up less expensive than establishing oneself in a
large city. not having to keep things and enjoying the living spaces of
others is a blessing, not a curse; one gets to enjoy how other people
live their lives, to change their environments without defining
themselves, and to learn from the choices of others – letting external
factors define their lifestyle. in a digitally connected and homogenous
society, we simply don't have access to this anymore.
