Being new to town is scary because there’s a lack of connection.
So the first thing you want to do when you’re new to town is…not feel so new to town.
The real tricky part is after you’re not new to town anymore, did you connect with the right people? Are there cooler people to meet? Are you on the right path? Are you moving up? What’s the trajectory?
When you’re new to town you give yourself a lot of grace and patience for not doing everything just right. After all, you’re new.
Not being new anymore is a lot to handle. So some people move and start the cycle over. But at some point you have to stay and answer the harder questions.
