Transitions can be hard.
I have been lucky enough to call Beatrice my home for the past seven months, which is just crazy to me. The people here have been so kind and helpful in my transition, it feels like I have lived here longer.
The move here was not easy. Having lived in Omaha for the past three years, I was used to the hustle and bustle, but also the seclusion. I knew moving here would be a big change, however, I grew up in a small town, so I assumed it would be like living there. Oh, how I couldn't be more wrong.
I moved here thinking it would have small-town vibes, where everyone knows your business before you do, but to my surprise, Beatrice is more like a 'small' city. Which is just so perfect for me. The only people who know my business are the people I have met and have allowed to know my business, and if I were to try and fall back on my Omaha 'ways', where I seclude myself, they are sure to check-in. There is no way to disappear in this town, but at the same time, not everyone knows everyone else.
Which is what the show ORDINARY DAYS is all about. Finding connections with the people around you, and making sure to keep them.
