"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
There's 50 states. I have 49 other states to choose from. So why am I having a problem?
My Independent Living teacher in high school told our class to move out before it's too late to do so. Do it before you start a family. Do it before your job ties you down. Do it before your parents need you.
For me, that time that she's referring to is now. More specifically, after July of this year. The problem is I just don't know where to go.
California is too crowded and polluted. Illinois (Chicago), Minnesota (Minneapolis), Massachusetts (Boston) are too cold in the winter. Texas (Houston) is flat and humid. Arizona is full of retired people. New York is well, New York. The urban setting is sooo not me. Colorado (Denver) seems like it's in the running, but my cousin told me that there isn't much racial diversity and I can't live like that. So, where, where do I go from here?
