I love that Bowie quote, thanks for introducing me to it! I've been thinking about this topic recently: I am so lucky to love work and get a lot out of it, but I have had moments of realisation at times where I see it's too closely linked to my identity. I feel similarly about living abroad. Am I living abroad because of who I am, or am I linking living abroad so close to my general identity that it could begin to limit me?
Interesting Emma, I sometimes feel that way about living in London, what would i be saying, or admitting if i were to leave London? Am i addicted or does it still serve me? What is the 'cost' to stay or go? I think the answer is still that i do want to live here, i love the buzz and sense of possibility but it is certainly worth checking in from time to time....
