Demi Bang

This past month, I closed a chapter of my life I’d known for almost 10 years.

I put in my notice at work, packed up the apartment I’d lived in for 3 years, said goodbye to my friends and family, and bought a one-way ticket to New York City. The day before I left Arizona, I cried and cried - questioning every decision that led me here.

My life in Arizona was as perfect as it could be - my family was nearby, my friends felt like my chosen family, I had my dream job at an advertising agency with supportive mentors, and the ideal schedule with my Pilates teaching. To give all of that away felt reckless.

It felt like I had something really good but didn’t appreciate it enough, and I was throwing it all away in hopes of something more - even though I wasn’t sure if that “more” even existed.

I still don’t know exactly what I’m searching for, but I do know that moving here was the first step toward finding it. Here’s to a new chapter. ✨
