Moving from California had been the hardest thing to do.
- But, there was no other choice.
While that was my home, Denver was offering me a chance to live my dream. I’d applied and gotten the best position at a top startup company in the area. Not only was the package on offer insanely good, but it also meant I could grow and become the person I always knew I’d be. Perhaps my biggest champion in all of this was my best friend and fiance. He made sure I didn’t doubt in my mind about our relationship. Yes, it would be hard for us to go from seeing each other every day to dating long distances, but we had a plan. I was going to move there and scope the area. He was working hard to make his company remote, making it easier for him to move to Denver. But, until then, he was going to come there to see me and stay for some time. This would be his first visit to my new apartment in Denver, and I was so excited that I left work early. I drove to the airport to pick him up and cried so much when we embraced. That evening, we planned not to spend time indoors but go and explore the wonderful city. I had to admit to my fiance that the city had grown on me thanks to my cousin who had been showing me around. After dinner, we took a taxi to another location where I showed my fiance my favorite cannabis store. Weed was legal in Colorado, so there were so many recreational treats for us to enjoy during his visit.
