Hallo Claire, nice to meet you
And yes, it’s the same with me. I’m also more confident now then I had been in my childhood. Of course that’s better, but I had a very good childhood and I sometimes wish that freedom and carefree behavior back. Being an adult can be very tough, all this responsibilities and duties…
But I honestly think that it is very brave to change life completely (for example, to start a new profession).
Many people are afraid of change. But perhaps this is also a question of mentality. A friend of mine, she is an American, but lives in Germany, always wonders about the Germans. They are generally very in need of safety and don’t like great risks. This cannot be generalized, of course but it is also not inappropriate.
