Looking at my life in reflection, as I often do when I don't know what to do, I realized that my summer has had a very consistent theme: change.
Essentially every portion of my life has changed. I live in a new apartment, state, city. I have a new job. I am utilizing different work skills on a daily basis. I have new friends, I engage in different activities (walking versus driving; running versus hiking). I live closer to family.
I am surrounded by monumental changes that I have CHOSEN to endure this summer in hopes of pursuing my dreams. I am quintessentially proud of myself and shocked at how different things look through the same eyes I have had for 26 years. I don't imagine that changes will stop anytime soon as I am constantly looking for new avenues to improve my overall well being, but it is nice to know that I have the adaptability to have made it this far again.
I survived my second cross country move. On my own. Again. Thinking about all the wonderful adventures I had in Arizona for the two years that I was there makes me excited about the change and opportunities for growth that New York will offer as well.
I could not be happier for myself.
"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get Started Now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful"
