I think a lot of people don't really understand the importance of a support system. I almost moved down to New Orleans but there was a lot of things about it that kept me from moving there. It's just like you forget about how little things like if you have problem with your car or something it's like yeah I can call Gaiko and they can come to me or wherever. You start realizing once you're out on the road how much you miss that familiarity. If you would have talked to 25 year old me I would have been out of your mind for sure.
