Dreams of escape

I am now at a place in my life which has prompted me to do a few different things to change my situation. Not from a place of feeling dissatisfied, but rather from a perspective that I really can do anything; or rather I can do something else if I want, and I'm not stuck by anything that really can hold me back unless I allow it. I want to do things while I am able to (physically and otherwise), while I enjoy them (ditto), and on my own timeline and with my preferences. I've been lucky to receive everything in life that I have so far and I don't want to waste any more time on earth. 

Therefore, I'm going to commit to doing new things and giving myself experiences I think I'll enjoy, or that will expand my capacity in some way, like travel and taking risks and learning new things. I'm starting a new job that will be (I hope and fear) is very different from my current one. I've started to travel again and planning some car camping trips coming up soon. Is this what you call a midlife crisis or what?  Either way, I think I like it.
