Contemplating a long leave

Why shouldn't I go on a long self-discovery break ?
Lets list Reasons to go for it :
Im 25, I have saved good amount of money.
Im working in a govt job that doesnt easily remove an employee, so it means even if my endeavour fails I can always come back to live the normal life.
Im young and not in a hurry to marry. Also no one is dependent on me right now.

Life is a mystery, its short. Death is inevitable. There's an inner calling.

The time is right, I will go on a journey of my lifetime.
A journey to gain experiences, learn how different people live.
A soul-searching journey.

I want to be alone sometimes, do my own thing, read books..
there's something that needs to be discovered!

Do I want to keep analyzing pipes and supports ?
No, not now.

Am I taking this decision based on laziness or frustration ?
I could say Yes though I do not want to. I believe I shouldn't run away from something but should only leave something once I have defeated it or loved it but never out of inability or laziness.
I liked studying for the Interview a little bit.
But lately i have been lazy - my will doesn't translate into action.
I will strengthen my will, discipline myself, try to love the job a little and then I shall leave it.

Do you want to travel a lot ?
Not really, cuz i don't really appreciate beauty much. Its all the same for me wherever I go unless the climate changes. I like it fresh and cold.

So do you want to stay someplace nice and pursue something?
Yes, I think of meditation yoga music books and healthy food if possible.
But I'm also aware that I should not get too comfortable, then the mind begins to entertain laziness.

So it looks like you want to travel a bit, find a nice place and stay there for a while and leave it just when you start loving it. Isn't it being harsh on yourself ?
Is it? I donno. I'm more interested to see how long it takes for me to love the place. The moment I feel a strong emotion to settle, I shall leave !

Greatest hindrance while contemplating to embark on a journey, is the fear of unknown.
I can never ever imagine or think of what future lies ahead of me in a journey. I don't know if it will surpass my imaginations or fall way below it into an abyss.
