what do i do? a bit of this and that... · freelance graphic + web designer |
in april 2009, i chucked my diligently earned, successful career of many years. i had worked quite hard to accomplish more than i could have imagined. then? i quit the job of my dreams.
i moved to LA with hopes of hacking it as a creative independent. the issue with my dream job? location. (vegas.) after 2 blow-my-f*ing-brains-out years in the cultureless city, i abruptly traded (on a whim) for a place which i visited for the first time mere months before. (abrubt as it was...this was far more preparation than the time i packed my car and moved my life to sin city to take a new job completely blind.)
i'm an iowa girl, born & raised. i'd lived there all my life before deciding i needed to explore the world outside my beautifully quiet farm state. moving to a place you've never been is an exhilerating experience...one i highly recommend.
this transition has been the most precarious (and best) decision of my life. i adore this city. even more than i thought capable. it takes my breath away constantly. daily. for this and more, i am so grateful. i feel i should be a bit more terrified, but then the excitement ensues. for the first time in a very long while...i feel "home".
