I had relocated from a small
town to a metropolitan recently. Thanks to my first job! I was scared like a
mouse, yet I walked with confidence. The noise and crowd was new. I know that
the chosen path is not easy. But, I wanted to evolve and see the World around. I
wanted to be independent. I may have to adapt and adjust a lot. And I was ready
for that.
As I strode towards the lobby
and looked up, I saw the familiar spiral staircase. Its design reflected my
mind.
“Miles to go before I sleep”, I
thought.
As a part of Friday

Beautiful story !!!
ReplyDeleteStepping out of the comfort zone is never easy, is it? Well told.

A move of this sort is definitely a big step! I can feel the anxiety and hope in your piece.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that would improve this would be to put the two part of this together: "I had relocated from a small town to a metropolitan recently. Thanks to my first job!" You could say "I relocated from a small town to a metropolitan area recently thanks to my first job" or reverse it and say "Thanks to my first job, I recently relocated from a small town to a metropolitan area."
