Excerpt: Location, Location, Location (Find your Happy Place)



"In your twenties, these choices are hard because moving isn’t cheap and leaving your high school friends is really scary. But you will meet new people you could never imagine living without. You will discover a bar that is finally that place you can call your second home. You will find a road that perfectly clears your head. Your Facebook posts become infinitely more interesting because the enthusiasm of finding all the fun new things that glows from you is completely and unabashedly contagious. Whether it is right around the corner from your childhood bedroom or a 3 hour flight away, find your happy place. Know that people have found happiness doing what they need to do for their grownup self, not the version that everyone sold them when they were to young to have any say in the matter. It isn’t always about what you do, it is often about where you do it."*
Have you ever started over in a new place? 
Could you ever imagine living anywhere else besides where you are right now?
