I feel your pain and frustration in this post. Both figuratively and literally. Social and familial responsibilities can feel like a weight sometimes, and in the West I think there is a lot more freedom from that but at the same time it's a double edged sword because family isn't as strong, at least in my experience here in the UK.

I'm also limited by (chronic) illness m8, and it's been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm lying in bed right now unable to sleep because my abdomen is so distended it's pushing on my ribs and causing pain. It's extremely frustrating.

I did plan on living the digital nomad existence before this SIBO (the condition I suffer from) robbed me of that dream. But we gotta make the best of life, that's what I allways tell myself anyway.

What a great selfie Liz sent you of her and Dan. I did get to meet Liz briefly in Krakow at SF 3 last year at the closing dinner. She is an awesome person, and I'd say she is living the dream, although being a digital nomad can be a lot of work also.

I've traveled in the past, to Thailand, Mexico and Egypt a few times so I always remind myself of that when I start to feel down about not being able to live the life I would like to right now.

Hope you're well Jose. I might not be on steem much over the next month as I've joined NanoWrimo (national novel writing month) and need to focus on getting my first draft finished. Steem distracts me too much lol. I'll be more active once December rolls around 😉

P.s. steemfest fomo is real 😉
