curiosity

In contemplating my move to another state, I wonder if the same feelings my parents felt when they decided to leave the States after living in the South for 10 years. They have fond memories of living in Kentucky, Louisiana and Indianan, but they could not imagine raising us in that part of the world.

I am beginning to feel that I don't fit in this town. It's been hard to connect on a deeper level with people, but I also learned to embrace my difference. The fact that I cannot fit into one neat box is the reason why I know I can thrive elsewhere.

Professionally, I am also hitting that wall. I enjoy my contract gigs, but I long for big projects that are missing in the Bay Area. It's that age old question: do I want to be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a big pond? Neither, I just want to be in a place where I am most comfortable being me.

More investigations to come, but I am happy about this freedom to explore and to follow my inner voice.
