I have been living in LA for nearly a year now, and on Saturday I am flying back to the East Coast to find a job on that side of the world. My time in the Sunshine State has been eye-opening, refreshing, and one huge learning experience, and despite being homesick, now that the time to leave it has arrived, I feel strangely tied to this place.
Maybe if I continue to sit on the couch and not pack my stuff, maybe time will stop and I won't have to move. But, like all things in life, things change. I haven't even been sad until this moment. I don't view this as a sad move. I am excited to see my friends and family, and I'm excited to be back where I grew up, where I feel really safe; I'm excited for new adventures. But it's no secret that I'll deeply miss my man-friend, one of the rocks of my life. It just won't be the same.
I am afraid that I am leaving opportunities for dead-ends. Ironically enough, I stumbled upon this quote, which I will leave you all with:
{ You must once and for all give up being worried about successes and failures. }

ReplyDeleteKori,
ReplyDeleteYea. I'm actually really unhappy with my decision to leave Cali at this point... I'm not returning to PA, I just don't see my career going anywhere while living there. I will be looking for jobs up in NYC :)
How is Arizona? :) How is your job?!
I know I said it on your DA but this really is superb ^_^
