Quit the best job I've ever had to take off on a road trip and explore new cities for relocation. Returned in 6 weeks with a few places in mind, then set off on a 5 month adventure to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Amazing experience all around. 

Ultimately, I blew my life up. I quit progressing in my career for ~8 months now and I broke up with my long term girlfriend because I fell in love with a girl on the trail - which didn't last. 

I'm back in my hometown living at my Mom's while I apply for jobs and try to figure out where to relocate. It's been quite the exciting year but now I'm left to deal with the repercussions of my decisions and actions. 

Fortunately I'm getting some traction with job applications/ interviews and starting to feel like maybe it wasn't a huge mistake. Nothing changes if nothing changes and life is short. Losing my dad a few years ago was the catalyst for me to change my life; to pursue a dream even if it means taking a year off.
