My friend sent this to me the other day. We've both lived in Pacific Beach, CA and he thought it was interesting. I thought it was inspiring enough to share it.

TLDR;
Doctor has it all, gives it up to live in a studio apartment in PB and skate on the beach boardwalk.
While I don't advocate for 100% this, some of his points resonated with me, especially the part about being an asshole. After seeing this, I definitely need to work on that part of myself.
"Do what you want."
"The people that love Slomo are cheering for 1 person that got away, that escaped, and got the real freedom where he skates all day and doesn't apologize. He's simply doing what he wants to."
"At this point, I'm just trying to get to the end of my life without becoming an asshole again."
Look, I'm a banker, in sales, pretty high strung, and the furthest thing from a beach bum (even though I've lived within 3 miles of a beach for the last decade). I'm the type of guy that creates inner conflict and challenges in order to push myself to the next level, whatever that next level is personally. Sometimes we can get lost in it and lose perspective.
