How do you choose where to be? Shooting my shot with the HN crowd, as I appreciate the perspectives I can find here. Started working tech/start-ups at 23 years old. After 3 years felt it was sucking away my youth, and at 26 said “screw it” and moved to a very rural town to join a music school. I found music to be a fulfilling adventure this past year, but now ahead of the second year I’m feeling very isolated from “my people” (hackers, techies) in the city, and the worlds I came from (software engineering.) Feeling very lost. On one hand I don’t want to move out and feel like I’ve made a mistake ‘giving up’ second year of music school, on the other I’m already feeling this about exciting tech projects and jobs I’m refusing, and about being close to friends & family in the city.
