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…
