I believe that moving to a new place daunts us all.
I also believe that I am NOT daunted by either of these things.
I am seriously considering moving. Not just moving somewhere else in SA, but moving AWAY. I have been stuck in this city (or the surrounding areas) for My. Entire. Life. And I am going crazy because of it.
I at one point had given considerate thought to moving to NYC; however, as an 'uneducated' individual, there wasn't a lot for me there except for (most likely) a lot of debt and probably hardship. Something I'm not a stranger to here. A friend of mine also pointed out that New York is cold for 6 months out of the year (rather than the more-often-than-not 'balmy' 2-3 months of winter here), and I am NOT a fan of the cold. So, while New York might be a good destination for vacation, I have decided that at least at this time, it is not a good place for me to be permanently.
So, my mind wandered to other places and other prospects, and fell on (duh) Austin. This hasn't been a new thought, however, I just have finally started putting serious consideration into it. Though I haven't made up my mind yet, I HAVE decided to at least look into the real estate in the Austin area to see what is there and what I might be able to afford.
That being said, I am also looking into bartending. Now, before anyone jumps into a stereotypical frenzy over the idea of one such as me bartending, please remember that cruise ships and nice resorts also need bartenders, and this would give me the opportunity to travel as well; something I've been itching to do since I was young. It is a very mobile job, as bartenders are needed everywhere, so if I get bored in one place, all it takes is for me to finish up whatever lease I will be in at the time and then move again. Some might say that is an immature way to live life, but I beg to differ. It's an independent way to live life, and I'm so SICK of being dependent! So, I am now going to try and begin this journey to figure out who I am, and where I want to be.
