If I could I would...

Leave.

The first thing I want to do once I have the means, is get out of the Midwest. Honestly, it's not horrible out here, but the small mindedness of small town people closes off a lot of the world to this area. I know there's so much more out there, and I won't be satisfied until I see it. There have been many times where I just wanted to point my car in a certain direction and just go. Unfortunately, my work here is not done, and until it is, I will remain. I'm only able to approach each Midwestern morning with an intense drive because I was California dreaming the night before.

Why California? Why not? Yes, the cost of living and potential job market don't look great, but the culture, change of pace, and scenary create a priceless experience. That's what draws me there.

If I could I would....

For the longest, all I could think of was that phrase "If I could I would," and nothing else. Then I thought about what I want to do more than anything, and leave was the first thing to pop in my head. That's also the most probable thing I could do. Eventually I will leave, and take my talents to the west coast.
