I'm typing this from work.
I'm itchy again. It happens a lot. Work gets a little hairy, and I want to be anywhere but here. It's been 7 years (minus one week) that I've been working at this one place. That is crazy to me. 2 years is my limit. On jobs and relationships. Apparently, this job is the first thing I've ever really committed to and I resent it for that very reason. It's gotten to the point though, where this job chose another woman over me and I think it's time to move on.

There are so many options. Move further south to be closer to improv shenanigans. Find a cheaper place/get a different job/move to Colorado/a small town/somewhere with mountains/near my grandma/anything. My mom keeps sending me houses for rent in Columbus and jobs in Gahanna, her hometown. It's tempting to move somewhere I love, where people I love live.
The problem is I've fallen in love with a troupe in South Florida called the Sick Puppies. Head over heels in love. I feel important. I feel special. I feel like I have a voice without needing to scream at the top of my lungs to be heard. There are so many opportunities, and no one is telling me that I can't/I'm not good enough/to stop wanting more. This is new for me. New and exhilarating. It's fulfilling a part of me that I had sworn off on after the last 7 years of improv frustration and anxiety. SO HOW CAN I THINK OF LEAVING WHEN I FINALLY FOUND LOVE?
Decision deadline is November 2014 when my lease at the stupid, rude flood apartment is up. Any thoughts, dear readers? What should I do? Who should I be? Where should I go?
One of us. One of us.
ReplyDeleteI had plans 2 years ago to move to NYC and just work my way up from scratch. We found a nice program for my son and stuck it out alittle but I'm glad I did. I fell in love with SP at around the same time and only good things and magic has happened. I wasn't ready before, but I'm quickly getting there.
And through SP I got to meet your awesomeness! There's an energy around this group and the people it attracts. There's greatness here and now you're a part of that, a big part of that. We are a sum of our parts and you've just elevated us that much more.
They always say you have to work with people who are more talented than you so you can grow, so I'm honored to be able to learn from you. Ok this is a mini blog in your blog.
So I'll be selfish and say, stay! Let's take this shit to LA and be rich and famous! Or at least rich!
