Why leave
I spent three months not on a far away land, but rather in the country most people think will get you anywhere. I really do not understand the fascination with the American culture. Then, why am I moving there? It's something I always felt I should do. I think my country, Puerto Rico, is absolutely awesome and the best place in the world. But what I want to do with my life is not available here, and that's completetly odd. I want to work in music journalism and Puerto Rico has an incredible quantity of musical talent. We are musical people, we are defined by our music, we live music. And yet, the music journalism movement here is not that big, well-known, or recognized. I want to change that, but how could I, if I don't know how to work it first? That's one of the main reasons. I've got to know how it works, how it sells, what interests people in it. I know I love it. I know music is the biggest thing in my life.
Another huge reason. An opportunity came and I left everything to explore another unknown world for me. For me to come back without even trying was quitting. So I had to do it. I am going to do it.
I won't deny I am scared. How could I not be? But, what really scares me is the idea of not trying,wonder all my life what could've happen. I rather be scared while trying than coming back to what's secure.
I do not know if I'm ready, but I intend to found out.
