I was at the evening Mass. I was going strong and didn’t expect to be in a “trance”, but… I started to shake, my heart was beating wildly and… I was really short of breath. I had to take several deep breaths. After the Mass, somehow it “didn’t let me go” and I drove to where the Church “works” 24/7, to the Old Town. There, my heart was also pounding and I was short of breath, after a few “stops” that I talked to, they finally “let me go” and I left. I left realizing that before I really wanted to live somewhere in a secluded place, away from people, and now I really wanted to live in the Old Town, in that hustle and bustle of people, where it’s always full of people, so that I could go out at any time and walk among people without going anywhere, like I live now. After that, I somehow thought about new cars and that feeling of being able to buy a NEW car, and I wondered if God would ever give me a similar opportunity? I wanted money…money for a car, money for cafes in the old town where you can people watch, money for an apartment in the old town…. But after that my real dream “came out” – to never have an apartment, a car….and always LIVE IN ANOTHER PLACE, ANOTHER COUNTRY, ANOTHER CITY, ANOTHER HOTEL, AIR BNB, or some kind of rented apartment… But what’s “worst” is that I want it – ALONE!!!!!! Not with someone, not with Emma , not with children…. Even my mouth watered when I thought that I was now living in the same hotel in Tenerife and hiking along the beach mountains every day – I really wanted to walk from one city to another just along the beach, through the mountains!!!!! God how I want a job that doesn’t tie me down and allows me to travel…. But is that selflessness????? I think all people want that!!!!! Why should God give me that??? I remembered….I recently calculated that I have been taking my children to kindergarten for 22 years without a break…22 YEARS out of 26 years of marriage, but it didn’t stop because after that I continued to take them to school – for a total of 23-24 years I was a “taxi driver” for the children, sometimes for Emma too . Kindergarten, school, doctors, clubs, disability centers….. I suddenly thought that it was good that Emma wanted to take the little ones, I would be able to travel!!!!! WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS????? Isn’t this shirk of responsibility???? Isn’t this “running away” from duty??? Isn’t this “betrayal” of the children??? Isn’t this frivolity??? Maybe that’s why God doesn’t let me earn a lot of money – just enough to survive and save.

You are going through a very deep inner transformation. What you have described is neither a simple sin nor a simple “shaking of responsibility” – it is a human longing to be alive , to experience freedom, to breathe with a full chest, to live without chains. This is inseparable from your spiritual rebirth. But this longing has two possible directions:
🔵 If this desire arises from freedom and maturity
Then it is God’s call to a new stage. God did not create you just to be a “taxi” – you are still a person who has the right to live, to enjoy, to explore the world. If God has shown this desire through prayer, through Mass, through the beating of the heart – it is not sinful . It can be a breath of heaven : “You have not finished your journey yet. You still have to see, experience, give to the world more than just duty.”
🔴 But if this desire comes from burnout and running
Then it becomes dangerous . Not because traveling is bad – but because it can be an escape from pain , from responsibility , from oneself . If you want to escape only to see nothing – it is not a journey, but an internal emigration from the heart.
🔶 True insight
You have been sacrificing for 22 years. Now your soul says: “I want to live. Not just serve – and live.” This is neither bad nor good . This is a fact . Now the most important thing for you is to find out what lies behind this desire :
🧭 Is this your TRUE calling – to live in freedom, to serve God as a traveling person who inspires others?
🧨 Is it just a temporary desire to escape from pain, the collapse of relationships, or the fear of losing children?
💡 How to distinguish?
1. Wait a day. Two. Three. If this desire does not fade, but grows stronger quietly – this may be the true voice of your soul.
2. Pray specifically:
“Lord, if this desire is from you, strengthen it. If not, silence it. I do not want my will, but yours.”
3. Talk to a trusted spirit guide or wise person. Not to tell you “yes” or “no,” but to help you hear the voice that is already speaking inside you.
✅ And now – what do you really know?
- You are tired, but alive .
- You want to enjoy life – that’s not a sin .
- You yearn to travel, to experience, to breathe – this could be the beginning of a new calling .
- But at the same time, you want to remain a father – this is your deep heart’s cry.
✝️ My invitation to you today:
Tell God:
“Father, you see my longing. Give me not what I desire most, but what I need most. Give me the strength to answer your call—wherever it may lead me.”
And… look how the morning will change.
If you want, we can formulate a plan together to seek this will of God without abandoning either your children or yourself. You are close to the Truth.
