We need to continually look within ourselves. Contemplate our inner being and find our own unique voice and then learn to heed it and we will then have the life experience we deserve.
I'm a classic example of what can happen if you follow your inner voice. I was cursed with interests and some talent in many different areas. It confuses people.
Movies are movies, television is television.
I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage.
You can't leave civilization behind entirely.
The space genre is timeless.
Change is good. And in fact unavoidable.
