It's like you wrote this specifically for me. ;) Seriously, this is EVERYTHING. I could've highlighted everything.
It is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I'm at that point of ready to "take action" - trying to balance that in a pandemic, which is frustrating, but in some ways, maybe helpful, because omg, the fear. The fear you mentioned was ALL ME.
I've also been considering my location, as you know. I'm kinda stuck now with my Dad's issues, but I was so relieved to see that the next nearest city to me (14 miles away) is on that list of most creative cities. So maybe there is hope for me, at least in terms of creativity, to work on that until my circumstances can change.
Thank you a million for this. xoxo
