Many moons ago after going through some crap with life and not having a clue what I wanted to do, I decided the best way to figure out what to do next was to throw some darts at a map and just move there.
At first I was scared and not sure if I was just a nutcase, but I went with it anyway. I got a map of the US and threw three darts. The plan was to move to the one that was farthest away.
I ended up moving to Wisconsin and loving it. It was amazing. Best decision of my life.
I discovered myself, discovered food, discovered a man didn’t have to hit me to show he loved me and I discovered freedom.
It’s been an amazing 20 years.
So now I am settled into the good life and enjoying being self-employed. I am a photographer for those who don’t know and as much as I love taking pictures of nature I am going to venture into studio photography. It’s something I have been struggling with for a while now because I wasn’t sure if I would ‘lose myself’ and veer away from what I really love doing.
I think I have finally found a solution to that problem. I am once again seeking help from a map and this time instead of relocating my whole life to somewhere new, I am going to visit somewhere different each weekend. In the process I can learn new things about North Texas because after 3 years, I still don’t care for it much.
Hopefully I can balance both projects and find true happiness here in the greater Dallas area.
I hope that you find what you are looking for and that all of the happiness life can possibly offer makes its way to your front door. I’d say you deserve it.
