I have been talking for quite some time now about moving to the city. Which city is the key that I had yet to figure out. With my new found freedom of singlehood, I no longer have ties to the small town I currently call home. That’s why I’m going to make the step to moving closer to DC. I may still eventually move to New York or Chicago, which are the top two cities on my list in the US, but this will be the first go round for myself. I’ll figure out if I’m really built for the lifestyle and if I can deal with the fast pace it seems to offer.
But there are other things besides those items above that I am looking forward to. I’ll have a better quality of life. Growing up and living my whole life in a small town, I know about half of the people walking down the street on any given day. Many people move here because that’s what they’re looking for. I, in the other hand, am a social butterfly. I want to spread my wings, meet new people every single day, and be able to say hi to a hundred strangers while walking down the street.
And yes, while I do also enjoy working for the small firm I currently work for, I also would like to experience working for a nationwide firm.
I may come out hating it; I may come out loving it, but either way, I will have discovered a little bit more about myself.
Here’s to you, Washington, DC. I’ll be seeing you soon.
