“No matter where you go, you follow.” Yes, this feels so true. This essay came at the perfect time as I’m deciding whether or not to renew my lease in a city I do love and have community, but other things in my life aren’t ideal and it’s easy to dream of a new city fixing everything! Lol.
I came here three years ago. Best move of my life (and I've had a lot).
I believe it was Samuel Johnson who said that when people move they take their troubles with them. That has not been the case: in PDX I've found the place that helps me be me.
It was the wrong place! I lived in Colorado for 20 years and only have a few friendships to show for it. Portland is a magical place with amazing connections and community. It was fun to see you and wave at you the other day!

Oh I’m so glad! Hope it helps you figure out what to do next.
