Dear Could-Be-Marylander,
I really wish you gave me more information...like, why Maryland?
Other than that...I'm a big believer in never going against your gut...you know, that feeling that you get, right there by your bellybutton. The small quiet nag that seems to know what's what. If you are being pulled to Maryland, then maybe it's for a reason. However, I don't know your age, your family situation, your stressors, etc.
If you are a fairly young adult with no responsibilities, then why not go for it? Live life, see the world, face your fears and save money so you can visit home regularly.
If you are a person with a family of your own, then under no circumstances do you leave them. If you have a spouse and/or children, your first and foremost commitment at all times is to them. Period. Don't care whatever is in the picture...unless there's abuse, you always leave abuse. Or infidelity...that's a personal decision that only the people involved can make. Other than that, a deal's a deal.
Do you have some responsibilities? Are you the caregiver to someone? Does someone need you for something? Don't walk away from those type of situations.
Are you just wanting to try something new? Go for it.
And remember...an unhealthy situation is an unhealthy situation. People are people no matter where you go. You take yourself wherever you go. But if you need to go to Maryland to better your life, then go.
Make sure you stay safe. Trust, but verify. Get all the education you can. Give back to your community. Mentor a child. Keep the promises you make. Stay true to yourself and your roots. And make sure to stay away from the politicians. All of them. Both sides are crooked right now....so just stay away from the donkeys and the elephants.
If you can do that in Maryland...and it's calling you for some reason...then go.
Unless, everything that I've written here has nothing to do with your situation. :)
Have a great one,
MommaC

Maryland isn't calling me, it's very far and completely unknown to me, like a whole other country. However, it's an opportunity, a question, an adventurous daring that I've always felt yet never explored. I probably won't go. I most likely won't go. It'll be a wonderment, like most things in my life. Thanks for responding though. I felt the need for an answer, and since you needed a question, I thought.. Why not?
then save up your money and go for a vacation to maryland. and have an adventure that way.
