[ WP ] In a world where currency is represented by magic , you leave your high paid job to follow your dreams .

Most people found it strange. I was a highly trained and payed doctor. Had all the magic I could want and I left. I had very little magic left. My old colleagues practically begge me to come back and others I told my story to were not so understanding. I was twenty five and he was only twenty seven. All the magic in the world did n't save my husband from his disease. I felt as if my own medical knowledge betrayed me. He died about a month ago now and I packed up and left. One of my coworkers called me a coward for running from my troubles. That my husband would want me to be happy, but that's the thing, this did make me happy. You see even if I do n't have magic I feel rich at every smile, every laugh and thank you I get. I can travel the world and with minimal magic it's been a trip I've never experienced. I've ridden horses and camels, I've swam over a river and been on a subway and a bus, a train and even a small plane. I've walked for miles and had to sleep in a tree. I have met so many people an been so many places I've only read about. And all the while I get to help people who can not afford or get help for themselves. I take pictures and eventually I will bring all these memories and settle down again. This would have happened eventually anyway, I guess the death of my husband forced me to take the leap. So, yes I am running, but not out of cowardice or sadness, instead I can smile and laugh with people who had lost their hope for getting help. I still ca n't save everyone, but for the ones I can it makes all the difference. All the magic in the world would n't change my mind. Do I miss being able to do things quickly or conjure something from thin air? Do I miss the flow of energy when using magic? Yes, but I can live without those things. I can live spreading magic where it is needed. If I can change a life in a positive way, should n't I? I just had to start with my own, and I simply could n't do it at my old job. They had other doctors that could do it.
