That was Eric Schur.
Eric is an animator living in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, stepson, a cat, and a bunny rabbit.
He and his wife have also co-produced their own storytelling series, The Mystery Box Show, for 10 years in Portland.
Eric's takeaway from this story is, even if you think you're where you want to be, look around.
Surprises are everywhere.
Time is finite.
What will happen will happen.
So Jordy, when I reached out to Eric to tell him that his story was moving on to the episode, he shared this idea of the arrival fallacy, which I found fascinating.
He said, it's the idea that once I have this experience or see this place or do this thing, I will be complete.
I will be happy.
He said, it just doesn't work that way.
And finding peace with that is its own kind of happiness.
Have you heard of the arrival fallacy?
We'll hear a little more from Jordi Ponsi at the end of the hour.

You're listening to the Moth Radio Hour.
I'm Sarah Austin Janess.
What happens when you're called upon to help a friend complete their bucket list?
