Today, I began the long road to saving up for a big move. Right now the two cities I'm looking into are Columbus (obviously, since I love it soooo much) and New York, more specifically the Brooklyn area. I have a lot to consider and a huge amount of bullshit to deal with before I even start looking for apartments, but I'm ready for this. I need to branch out and see the world a little more, and hopefully make something of myself. Divorce, failed relationships, bad friendships, and an overall sense of dispair and hopelessness among my closest friends here has made it more apparent than ever that this is not the place for me right now. West Virginia will always be home, but sobriety has taught me that there is more out there that I'm not experiencing, and I need to give it a shot.

I wish you all the luck! Sometimes, change is exactly why you need, no matter how hard it is. *hugs*

Good luck! I'm in the process of a move myself and a new start is sometimes needed and best. <3
