Give me a dose of reality
Hello everyone. 27 M here. Moving to nyc next week in a sublease in Bushwick till end of August. Very fuck it decision.
I’m from the dc area and have basically lived with my parents my whole life.
I want to grow into myself, find a community, continue my arts and music, and grow into my LGBTQ side more and have that kind of support system. I think I’m trans and having been from the DMV, I feel like I’m too plugged in and known in the area to comfortably explore my transness… I also just want to start my “adult life.” I want to just be around people and make friends. Not saying I can’t do that in DC but….
I’ve got about 20K saved up, but have no job lined up. I work in the restaurant service industry, and I’ve got a couple leads and connections that MAY land me a job at a restaurant.
But please just give it to me straight… is this stupid? Am I a dumbass?
I am the type of person that has faith in the universe, that things work out the way they’re supposed to, effort given of course, with some push and shove if need be, but I don’t want my overconfidence in myself and my faith in the universe to…fuck me over… but it seems when I let go and just follow my heart things tend to work out. And for many months my heart was whispering for me to move to here.
Anyways. Just give it to me straight.
EDIT: I’ve been thinking about this since October/nov/dec, realistically told myself I’m gonna do it Dec/jan, and signed the sublease early March. Just some info.
