Adventure
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to just go. Just pick up and go somewhere. And for some reason, I never have. Either the timing wasn't right, something came up, or something inside me just knew it wasn't right.
Well, here I am and I'm finally getting to go. I'll be leaving for Nashville, TN in mid-February to explore and start anew. I do not have a job yet, and I am completely okay with that. My whole life has felt like one big plan, and now I don't want to plan. I just want to do. My oldest best friend is currently living in Nashville for a few months for work. I will be joining her. When she leaves, I'll stay behind and figure things out. She's easing me into a new state, new city, new life. I am completely overwhelmed by how I feel about all of this in the most positive way. I'm pretty laid back when it comes to most things. I don't normally get drawn to anything. I have experienced the exact opposite the last few months. I've been drawn to so many things. I've let the moments consume me like a fire. The beauty of "right now" has taken over and it has been breathtaking.
Another best friend of mine is taking over my house in Birmingham. That'll be a safety net of sorts. If Nashville doesn't work out, I'll still have a place in Birmingham waiting for me.
Ever since my mom died, a change of scenery has been heavy on my heart. I told myself that if I still felt that way after 6 months to a year, I would take the leap. And here we are 9+ months since she left this earth, and it's as heavy on my heart now as it was when I first thought of it.
Thank you to my family, friends and co-workers for all of the support. It's been an absolute roller coaster of a year and I could not have made it without anyone that's been along for the ride.
More to come soon...
