So...I'm in Chicago for the second time within a month. I came here hoping to learn HTML and create a fantastic webpage for my mom's new personal chef company. However, as I'm here and meeting people and wandering the city I realize that I could see myself here. I actually secretly came here to check out jobs and apartments. I mean I want to be some high powered account executive in an advertising firm and on the side, be involved in improvisation and theater, so what better opportunity than living in Chicago. The only part that I'm scared about is the fact I'm leaving my friends. I was so excited to find an apartment and a new job, but then I just turned on my instant messenger and realized that those relationships I have in DC will change. The security I feel in terms of just calling someone or stopping by their house won't be there. I mean I can call, but I have started to dislike talking on the phone. I know I can build a network here..In fact, I already met some people here, but they work and they have lives and can't be distracted. Building a network of people takes time..And I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge. I dunno. What am I to do? I am so torn. I think the move will provide me with the backbone and confidence I need to jut move away from tea comfort zone of the MD/DC area, but how scary this whole period if uncertainty is. Sheesh! I can just picture the move being exciting for a week on my own and then I'm alone and I need to push myself like I did in DC..and that takes a long time to accomplish. I'm setting myself up for a hard journey and just starting over..and I'm so scared. How do people do this?
