Date: 2023-07-21 07:34 pm (UTC)Was there a reason you couldn't do this? Because honestly that sounds like a lovely life!
I feel like my life is nothing but a series of these things. But I would say the biggest one that comes to mind is when I decided to leave my mind-numbing data entry job and move across the country to live with a fandom friend. Jamie was like, "Come live with me!" and...I did! I was only there for not quite three years, but I got my first library job there (which lead to more library jobs, which lead to grad school, which lead to archives, which lead me here), which I definitely would not have been able to get in my hometown.
I think it also taught me I could move on my own, which is something I've done at least four more times since then. I definitely like my life a ton more now than I liked it in my mid-20s before I moved!
I have absolutely no clue what my life would have looked life if I'd stayed in my hometown. No clue at all!
