New apartment, new life, new career, new me...
Right?
This was August 2016.
I dropped out of school, a place where I had a life and friends.
I had a career path to follow and family that expected me to finish my degree.
I personally though, had a different plan.
After my sophomore year, I found myself in a new city, trying to “make it”.
No friends.
Not old enough to get into the bars.
All of my friends left to go back to school.
It was just me.
Everyone thought I was crazy.
In some ways I think my college friends were expecting me to fail.
That was the most alone I have felt.
The feeling of thinking that, “if I just get this one chance, I know I’ll make it.”
It was worth it.
It’s now a year later, and happier now than I think I have ever been.
Seeing things slowly start to happen, makes those feelings of loneliness totally worth it.
Im really happy for you! It is hard to make a decision like that. You are brave to do it not knowing how it will turn out. I moved from Chicago to Phoenix when I was 17 to start a new life. I got to see and do so many wonderful things! Im back in Chicago now but I spendt 11 years in Phoenix and met my wonderful wife! Life can throw you curves but sometimes you have to choose the harder less traveled path.

Thank you for the kind words! Sometimes we need to take risks before we find true happiness. I'm glad you've made the most of it and I hope things continue to be bright for me :)
