Seriously this one really speaks to me. Recently Ive been feeling so bummed out about being stuck in this small town I live in, and that having a job where I live paycheck to paycheck is not what I want. Nothing to do with my art goals, and nothing that will lead to me being happy. My girlfriend lives in California and invited me out to live with her. Yes. I have a goal, to get there, but I was so stuck in the planning phase, that I wasn't getting anywhere forward. My grandfather lent a hand and welp... instead of taking it as a maybe I took the opportunity, worked in some of the plans I was brainstorming for a while (the reason those never went anywhere was because of the feeling of insecurity, what if it didn't work? Then I would be worse off) but next week I'm moving out there! I'm better off trying than not, and I'm better off making decisions for a goal I'm at least starting towards than saying I never tried. It feels so much better, even having a fresh outlook on possibilities, a new environment and to finally be with the love of my life!
