I was in a tire shop yesterday and I met a gal who turned me on to this TCK idea. WOW! Now I can start to understand why I have these feelings of discontent and disconnection. I'm a Navy brat and all we did was pull up stake and move every few months or years. I never traveled overseas, but I've been to just about every state in the U.S. including Alaska, Canada, and Central America. I feel like an "outsider", I can't seem to put down roots or have long lasting meaningful intimate relationships. I bore easily, I can't sit still for very long, I feel as though I MUST see everything, go everywhere, experience ALL of it...the entire world. I have severe wanderlust, itchy feet! Sometimes I think I'm going crazy. My friends and acquaintances tell me I'm a hobo, vagabond, nomad. Well, okay...I guess I am, but I just cannot help myself. I never feel rested, I feel most at peace when I'm on the road. I even owned an RV for 8 years and traveled from coast to coast. I feel as though I must constantly be challenged...intellectually stimulated. I am searching for an answer to my angst and unrest. I feel lost and without a sense of purpose. Could I possibly be a TCK kid? Could this be why I'm the way I am? I'm 50 years old...it's apparent to me I will never change. What can I do? Where can I get help? I need some sort of relief. I feel as though all I want to do is run away with the circus, so I've applied for a job with...the circus! No kidding. It just seems like a natural progression on my path.
