I don't agree at all with the "stay" posters.
Life's short. Too short to compromise your heart. Too short to work a job just for money. Quit! Go back to Georgia right away! That's where your heart is.
I've left many jobs without another lined up. Always landed on my feet. I am submitting my two weeks notice this Monday. So, I'm not talking out the side of my neck here. Also, I've got a lot more than a cat to look after. However, I'll have no bills except food, utilities, gas and healthcare. And healthcare is free now.
So, I've got a lot of flexibility in my situation.
Sounds like you have "no strings attached" and are relatively flexible, too. Go for it. "Follow your bliss" as Joesph Campbell says.
I don't understand people who let money dictate their lives. I never chased money and I have been blessed with much of it. Totally foreign to me to chase a buck doing something I don't love to do.
I love the "animating contest of freedom". Fear sucks.
Can't wait for the next chapter..
