I made a decision to move across the world a couple of years ago. I was living in New York, and I met someone in the middle of this insane city. Someone who I fell in love with and wanted to follow to any part of world. I told my employer I was going and if they had a space for me in Asia I would love to continue my work there. I went online, found a ticket on Kayak, and I was on my way. I packed up every piece of clothing, all my momentoes, and all but two pairs of shoes…I left the cherry Nike’s and Doc’s for my roomies. I took the subway, to a bus, all the way to JFK. I told everyone I was going for work. I told some people it was for fashion. I told others it was for PR and interviews. But that wasn’t entirely true, it was mostly for love. It took a long time for me to really find someone that I felt this strongly for, so of course I had to go. Two years later I ended up in LA, and everything went to complete and utter shit. All the love and romance is done and over. In traditional Hollywood form, everything you could imagine from the movies happened. I won’t go into great detail today, but it was truly rough stuff. Movie stuff. Things that aren’t supposed to happen most certainly happened. And at the end of it all I ended up in Los Angeles with myself. I have been beating myself up trying to sort out all of the answers, but I realize that they aren’t going to fix anything. And I finally can see that I don’t need anything to be fixed other than myself. So, with that said I am doing just that, most of the time. To my friends who said not to go, I love you. I love that you told me those things to hopefully prevent me from what happened. To my family, I am sorry that I wasn’t ready to tell you the whole truth. To myself, you and me are going to be fine. I always thought it would get easier as I got older, but that is simply not the truth. So I am just going to keep learning and growing. It will all be magical and worth it by the time I figure it out. That is something I know is true. For anyone reading this who is questioning whether to risk it all or not. I hope that you do. I hope that you have the guts to jump. You will learn so much about yourself and people in this world if you do. It is scary and it can leave you completely on your own to fend for yourself. But it is worth all of it. Every last second of it.
