I've been thinking about creating a blog for what feels like centuries. Alas, here I am. I have no plans for this venture to lift off to any special heights. Mostly, what I am looking to gain here is an outlet to speak my mind, and more specifically, to the group of humans I left at home, and miss terribly!
If you're here, thank you for visiting. I appreciate the interest!
Today I officially became a Colorado resident. I surrendered my MA license and everything. It was bittersweet. On the one hand, I miss my friends and family and that crazy/wonderful state. On the other hand, every person (and there were many) at the Colorado DMV was an absolute peach today. I kid you not, these people acted like they were actually pleased with their lives. It blew my mind. I even LAUGHED few times. Did you guys know people laugh at the DMV? I had no idea.
Now that I've been here for what is rapidly approaching on two whole months, the insanity of my day-to-day has died down. In some respects I love this, in others it feels overwhelming. I enjoy that I have nights to just BE at home. It's nice, and it's helping my little apartment truly feel like mine. I adore my little home and would not trade it for absolutely anything. The flip side is that the distance is hitting me. I feel how far away you people are. I love you, and miss you, and I know you miss me too... but it doesn't change the fact that I can't call any of you up to get a drink with me on a random Tuesday night! It's a process of reminding myself of WHO I am, WHY I am here, and WHAT I want. I think that has been one of the most beautiful parts about this move. I've gotten very real with myself about what I like and don't like. What I want to do and what I don't want to do. And on some fronts I am still feeling flexible, but on others, I am happily picky... it has been a nice experience to gain a little pickiness :)
Tonight I am headed out for birthday drinks for one of my friends here. The bar is .3 miles from my bedroom... I couldn't be more excited about that.
I hope you've all had great Fridays. I'll be home 12 days!
Always Looking Up: Tip #1
You are worthy. Own that fact like it's the only one you've got. YOU. ARE. WORTHY. Worthy of the life you desire, worthy of the love you want, worthy of the joy you seek. If you believe nothing else, believe that. You are worthy. Believe that and other people will, too. Believe that and the whole universe will, too.
I love you.
