Another completed adventure. On the 22nd of April, 2023, I decided that it was time for me to move across the country in order to focus on my business. There was no specific reason other than, why not? Why not take an adventure and move 3000 miles west in order to focus on building my dream? It sounded surreal, a place where I knew nobody and had very few connections. Almost like a fresh start. I wasn’t running away from anything, but chasing the potential adventure. Over the 3000 miles, I had a lot of time to think. Think about people, relationships, my goals, passions, everything. But I also had time to think about what life was really like. I was lucky enough to live and grow up in a big bustling city, and move to another one for college. I didn’t grow up in a small town in the middle of nowhere where everyone knew everything about me. It is different for me and my family who moved around so often and have no real place to call home. After driving and seeing all the open space of the United States it really puts things into perspective. I see now why people want to move to a big city like LA or NYC, but for me, I never really had that appeal. I find myself wanting to disappear more often to travel around and see what the world has to offer. So during my adventure, I found myself craving more adventure. As if driving all the way across the massive country wasn’t enough for me. Initially, I thought it would have been more difficult, especially because I was doing it alone. But as I drove more miles and discovered more things by myself I found that I could rely on myself. I could rely on myself to keep myself safe while taking risks to see more of the world. And I feel like this translates over to many aspects of my life. Almost as if this trip proved to me that it is okay to take risks. Regardless of the outcome, good in this case, I will always learn a lesson. So even though I still am terrified of starting my own business as long as I stay diligent, I’ll learn a lesson. That’s all I can ask for.
