Hi Rosa,
Ahh, the elusive "search for happiness" that every MLCer seems to find so necessary but never satisfying! I suppose that if someone is willing to dump so many years of their life, destroy their own families, embarrass himself in everyone he's ever known eyes by running off to Russia with some crazy person he hardly knows, Chile isn't THAT surprising. Until (if?) they realize it's not the circumstances of their lives but what's INSIDE of them where the true key to happiness lies, they will roam the world (in his case literally) and never find it.

You sound like you're doing great. So, glad to hear it and keep living the life you choose!
