I want to leave some words of wisdom that will change your life, here. Except that I'm in the same boat, lost on the sea, unable to find my home port, and there's no way out of this crappy metaphor.
Okay, kids... See,first of all, life as you know it now is... well, actually seemingly hard but really not. Because as you get older (not that I am, I gave that up for lent), your choices become slimmer for several years, before you get to the "I don't give a frig" age - many, many years away. So right now, make choices that DARE you. Go for relationships, jobs, interests that scare the hell outta you right now. Down the road they may be out of reach. And besides, 'down the road' may never come. Ya know?
I have dreamed about moving to New York as long as I can remember. But dreams and reality are often very far apart, and after college I spent the years developing a newspaper career in places across the country I couldn’t call my own.
But now, as I sit in my chair at my dream job in the best city in the world, my perspective has changed. I am no longer the innocent and naïve newspaper reporter that left Iowa and Maine with dreams unfulfilled. I am the person who has made her biggest dream come true, living and working in New York City, but still has not experienced that elusive word “fulfillment.” To be completely cliché, it is all about the journey, I suppose.
