Last month, I gave notice at the community studio I’ve been part of for the better part of a year.
There are a couple of reasons: I’ve moved into a larger apartment with more room to create; I’ve primarily been making art at home anyway; and I’d rather save the money for other things.
Regardless, it’s been strange to give up something I thought I wanted — even though I’ve changed my mind, and now this is what I want.
Trying new things and big dreams, and realizing when those things are no longer right, takes courage.
On to the next chapter.

I was glad to hear you tried a studio, but that makes sense. I’m thinking I’d like one in my new city, as I miss the company, but this is a good reminder that needs change.
