CATALYST 85 - NY TO SD
Catalyst Eighty-Five is What’s the most daring or scariest thing you’ve ever done?

My words:

“Let’s just do it!” I said. We were sitting in Bar 89. Facing each other. Talking about how much we hated our jobs how sick we were of New York. How we wanted something different. “Let’s just quit and move!” I encouraged him. (and myself) I wanted to know that we still had the guts. That we owned our life, not them.

It took us another year but we finally did it. Quit the jobs. Packed the apartment. Bought a car. And moved 3,000 miles. To a city we’ve never seen before. A city where we knew no one. Had no jobs.

We did it. We got jobs. Found a home. Started a life.

And, most importantly, proved we can do it.

We just did it.
