My friend’s and family are still there when I go home to visit and sometimes they come here, plus I have made plenty of new friends.
What I am trying to say is if moving is something that you would truly like to try, stop making excuses and start taking steps towards making it happen. Go back to LA or wherever and stay longer than a week to really get an idea if it is where you would like to be. |
Trust me i've considered this. But i am not out to start a business,it would be a little different then. But i have no skills other than working in a folder factory,i cant just go out there and immediately make enough money to live on my own. And i dont want to quit this job and then go right back to the same thing. If i got a job in music,it wouldn't be for years,since i'm basically starting at nothing. I wouldn't even have money for rent let alone a $250 plane ticket every month to visit my family! And my mom and brother won't fly so they wouldn't come see me,like i said,i couldn't even get them to VISIT there. I think i would be really homesick and lonely if i moved by myself,i wouldn't even know anyone,and i do NOT make friends easily. I am shy,timid,and passive...LA would eat me up in a second (those are the actual words from a friend,after i told him i wanted to live there). I'm just not a risk taker,and i'm not sure if that is something i could even change,thats more part of my personality than my issues. I would go to music school here before moving there with no skills,money,or knowledge about anything.
