From the post "Follow Your Dreams" in the blog "Adventures in Voluntary Simplicity" [http://adventuresinvoluntarysimplicity.blogspot.com/]:
Ive been thinking about doing this, in one way or another, for a while now. But I was never really sure if I would be doing it for the right reasons. Not to mention how silly it sounded whenever I brought it up to people. But this weekend it all came together: the weather was beautiful, the trails were inviting and freedom seemed just around the corner. So I went for it.
This is NOT a knock against Harvard. Or a calculated criticism of legal education. Or even a rejection of elitism, per se.
Sometimes you just need to say goodbye to your past in order to move forward.
In the end, it was just a piece of paper. Nothing more. I would rather live my life on my own terms than be a person that needs a piece of paper to justify their own worth."
