A New Start

Every journey begins with the first step. True. But, sometimes that step is the hardest. No one knows it better than I do. I feel like in the last 10 years, I’ve had to restart my life about…well, 10 times! I’m not exaggerating! okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. It might have only been 8 times. Well, here’s to number 9! The difference with this one, I planned for it. I chose it. I wasn’t forced into it, or left with this decision, I made a conscious decision, at least 2 years in advance, to move away from what was “comfortable”. My job.

I’d been like it was time to leave around the beginning of 2021. But I wasn’t ready. I still had unfinished business. I still felt I could prove to myself, and superiors, that I had more to give. And I did. I gave it my all. What did it cost me? Like Thanos said in Avengers, “everything”. Well, almost. I wanted to leave, but it wasn’t the right time. So I continued on. About 15 months later, I knew. What happened? That’s a story for another time.

I proposed to my fiancé, and I promised her that things were gonna change. See, I didn’t want to make this decision on my own. I need for her to be ready too. Because maybe I was just in my head too much, or something else. But when she was ready, I told her, “I’m ready too”. And We decided to leave. Where? Sin City as some would call it. Las Vegas, NV. I had lived there a few years prior. and I loved it! I couldn’t wait to get back. Not for the casinos and gambling. For the community. A community I was missing.

So, we’re doing it! We’re moving. In just couple of weeks from writing this. Las Vegas is going to be our new home. Be things are happening. We’re meeting up with old friends, meeting new ones, starting new opportunities for ourselves. And I’m officially starting up my photography business there. No more being held back. I’m diving in, head first. Giving myself a new start.
