I hope you find what you are looking for

Tomorrow I change my life forever.

Tomorrow I put most everything I own in my Civic, and drive out to California, to start a new life.

I have lived in the same state (and almost the same city) my entire life. This will be my first move away from family (more than ~30mins driving distance) ever, and I am naturally full of mixed emotions about leaving family vs pursuing what I believe to be my dreams.

“Well, I hope you find what you are looking for…” is the common response from family and friends as I explain my seemingly snap-decision to move to the west coast.

“If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, You’ll Probably End Up Somewhere Else”

I honestly do not know what I am looking for, but I am quite sure I will never know if I stay in my hometown Atlanta, GA.

I do feel that this move is now-or-never, and I would hate to regret not giving it a try.

What if I fail? What if I make it? Can I keep up with friends? Can I stay close with family?

I think it is natural for us to worry about the unknown. My biggest worry being that I had everything I needed already, but didn’t see it.

“Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got til its gone”

For some reason, I feel that I need to mix up my life entirely, in order to sort things out. 

Will moving to California allow me to find a soul mate, or land me that dream job? I’m not sure, but I want to try.

The next few months will be interesting…
