Get Your Wings Ready

A boy is someone who complains about his situation. A boy becomes a man when he shuts up and changes it. I remember reading that somewhere. I think it’s a George Bernard Shaw quote. Interestingly, that guy also said there is a great number of people that he’d like to kill. Fabian Society stuff. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, though, that first quotes pretty dank.

I’m not sure New Jersey is right for me anymore. I was talking to my buddy and sort of came to the realization that it’s for people who have figured their shit out. I am NOT that. No shame though, those people have more going for them than I do. They have families and significant others. They have great and engaging jobs. I’m not that just yet. I’m figuring it out but I still have some ways to go.

I want to move out west. My ex just moved out there though and I don’t want it to look like I’m chasing her. I’m not. Out west is chill, man. You can move to a decently sized city and get a nice apartment for much less than what I’m paying for here. Nevada, man. No income tax and lots of work. Henderson, Nevada. I could get a studio apartment in a beautiful complex for less than $1,000/month. Did a google search and it seems like there’s plenty of digital marketing jobs as well. I could tell my boss here and ask if I can work remote but I may just want to do something different. 15 minute drive to Las Vegas. Could go and play cards on a Friday night.

My parent’s will not like the idea. My mom will be devastated. I’m a 28 year old man, though. Sometimes if you got a gut feeling you’ve got to just do it. Make sure you get your shit together before then though. You have to be ready for that right gust of wind. If it comes by and you miss you might never get a chance to fly. Get your wings ready fellas.
