I moved from Massachusetts to Nashville for a partner. Though we broke up, I've made my own life here.

When I moved to Nashville for a partner, my friends and family advised against it. We broke up, but I still believe it was the right decision.

Phoebe Farrell-Sherman relocated to Nashville after college to be with her girlfriend, who was pursuing a master's degree at a university closer to her family. Despite friends and family warning her against the decision, Phoebe moved, finding work at a book review magazine and eventually a permanent position. She also joined a choir and made friends in the city, including a best friend who came to support her during a challenging time.

Though the relationship ended, Phoebe views her decision to move to Nashville as a worthwhile and positive one.
