Actually this is more directed at the older NFP's, 30's and onwards....but feel free to contibute anyway and XNTP's are not excluded either, as I rather think this may pertain to them as well.
Do you guys get bothered by restlessness, and dissatisfaction? Much of my twenties, I spent bouncing round jobs and locations exploring etc, but I do have a pretty relentless desire to seek out novelity, and I do suffer from the grass is greener syndrome too.
My problem is now I'm in my thirities, I'm feeling the pressure to settle down, buy a house....all those grown up things, maybe find a bloke and pop out a sprog.
The problem is I'm not all that sure I want it......and well, I had a few hints that maybe it would be in my best interests to stick with my current job as it looks bad at my age to have never stuck at a job for more than two years, that and the failed bussiness and narrowly escaped bankruptcy.
Do others struggle with societal expectations, and your wants and desires being at odds with them?
The nut job I am, I want to try and start a new bussiness! There's other things too, I want to keep moving....but I never settle long to put down roots and mantain security....Do other people struggle with this as I do?
