Most of these are probably going to be connected to my experiences and my stories, but I'm hoping for them to be more universally relevant as much as possible. In this particular case, though, I think this video is more self-centered than I want the videos to be in general. I hope that's OK. This is a pretty big thing I'm wrestling with right now, and I figure I'll wrestle with it out here in public where folks can see.
I can't say I regret moving to Pennsylvania, but I can say that it was very hard and that the life I thought I would have didn't happen. I can say that I took a risk and that resulted in failure. But in a way I'm kind of glad that I had this experience so I could learn that it's OK for things not to turn out, even if they're scary and hard and miserable, because you can make it to the other side and that doesn't mean you yourself are a failure. (Maybe I'll make my next video on that?)
I don't know what to expect from Toronto. I can't *expect* that it will go well, because it might not. But I've learned from what went wrong the last time I moved, and I'm trying to be smart about it, and I'm also going into it knowing that even if everything goes badly, I'll make it through, somehow.
