Hey there! My name is Vanessa and I'm a 30-year-old Italian-Caucasian woman from Long Island. Let me tell you about my backstory...
I grew up on Long Island with a tight-knit family. We were all very close, especially since my dad passed away when I was just a little girl. My mom raised us alone and we always had each other's backs. I went to college in New York City and studied marketing. I knew that it would be a great way for me to make a living while still being able to enjoy the beauty of Long Island on the weekends.
After graduation, I got a job at a big advertising agency in Manhattan. I worked my way up quickly and was soon leading large campaigns for major clients. The work was challenging but rewarding, and I loved every minute of it.
One day, after years of working long hours and barely seeing my family, I decided to take a break from the city and spend some time at our family cabin in the mountains. It was a place that we had always gone to together as kids, but I hadn't been back since my dad passed away.
I remember driving up there with my dog, Sophie, in the backseat. The air was crisp and fresh, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky. As soon as we arrived at the cabin, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. It was like being home again after years of being away.
I spent the next few days exploring the area, hiking through the woods, and just taking it all in. It was during that time that I realized how much I had been missing in my life. Sure, the city had its charms, but there was something special about getting back to nature and being able to breathe again.
When I returned to Manhattan, I knew that things needed to change. I quit my job and started my own business doing marketing for outdoor companies and brands. It's been years since then, and I haven't looked back once. I still live on Long Island, but I spend most of my time in the mountains or by the beach with my friends and family.
And that's my story! Thanks for listening.
