So, last August, I was sitting on my couch and thinking to myself, “What am I doing?” I had no prospects, no plans, nothing. I was stuck in a rut, awaiting that day when something, anything would change. Then, I decided to stop waiting. I said that within a year, I was moving to Hawaii.
So, I started researching jobs, good areas and bad, cost of living. I researched whatever I could find about how to move there. I started focusing on my finances, finding what I needed and what I could drop. Here I am, half a year later.
I have been given enough airline miles to get there and back if needed. I have gotten a small raise that is being funneled into my funding of the move. I’ll be moving halfway around the world on May 1st, and I am not hesitant about it at all. I will be thousands upon thousands of miles from anyone I know. But I’m plunging in without fear.
Kinda says something about how much I hate where I am now.
