A few months ago, I moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles. I started off pretty excited. I was going to get to explore a new city, start grad school, meet new people and all of that fun.
But then I started to wonder about all my friends and family that I wouldn’t see for a while. Not to mention working for Hyphos long distance, and that I’d be regularly missing out on perfect weather and wonderful food.
In the weeks leading up to the move, I felt like I was on roller coaster by myself. It was exciting, because it was a roller coaster and you get that adrenaline rush. It was scary, because I was on it alone, and it made me even more scared than usual of falling out of the seat (I don’t care what the laws of physics says).
These are common feelings when moving to a new place, though. At this point, I was kicking myself for not trying to convince Hyphos to launch in Atlanta before I moved. I knew that the next few weeks would be filled with learning a bunch of people’s names, courting new friends and trying to figure out if we like to do the same things. It takes a while to find that niche—the place you fit in, and the people who share your interests. I figured it out eventually, and am fortunate to be surrounded by many wonderful people here. But, let’s just say I have a whole new appreciation for what I help accomplish at Hyphos now.
So if you just moved, check us out. We can help you get past the first couple awkward weeks in a new place. Pretty neat, huh?
