It’s easy for me to overwrite this. But I’m hoping you’ll read it and have some suggestions for me. so I’ll keep it simple.
I’ve always been in love with the West Coast.
I’ve been in small-town conservative Oklahoma since I was six.
I was obsessed with California colleges, but ultimately couldn’t afford the out-of-state fees. so I stayed home. My school was a fairly good fit, but I’m NOT that girl that stays here. My family isn’t even here anymore.
I’m always telling people about mid-to-north California – where the beachs are nice, and the trees are tall. I was born in the Northwest, so even as a kid I was always disappointed in Oklahoma’s trees.
I’m pretty scared about the cost differences. I’ve graduated college and I’m struggling to figure myself out. I’m not doing much of anything,and I feel stagnated. It’s risky, without a real goal, much of an idea how to support myself (besides my mom’s help)—but I thought maybe if my surroundings were more satisfying, gratifying, stimulating…. maybe I could find what I want to do. Maybe it wouldn’t matter so much WHAT I do, because life’d just feel BETTER.
I try not to glorify it, I know a change of place can’t fix everything, but something isn’t working. And there’s this place I’ve always wanted…
