So I haven't written or posted anything in quite a long time, and to be quite honest my inconsistency doesn't surprise, but it does disappoint me. I only have 3 nights left as a California resident. Im getting really down about it actually. Sure I am looking forward to seeing my friends and family back home, but part of my heart will remain here. When I decided to move to California I thought it was going to be long term. I expected to put down some roots and start a life out here, and it feels a little bit like I failed. I know that my going home has nothing to do with Failure and what started out as a rash decision turned into something that I need to do for family reasons... But still. A small part of me has let myself down.
There are so many amazing things about living here. So many fantastic people. Just this week I made some new friends that I wish I was going to be able to spend more time getting to know. But this is life. People get shuffled about and its all an Adventure. So it is all I can do to participate by looking forward to my next Great Adventure.

ADVENTURE
where ever she goes
I'm sorry to hear about your move! California will definitely miss you! I wish you all the best <3

Though my first instinct is to attempt to reassure you that you haven't failed, instead I empathize. Because life is unexpected, and while you might hope for a particular chapter to unfold or path to emerge, often something entirely different comes about.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in such a place myself at present- I adore the Twin Cities, am so excited about planning my wedding to a lovely gentleman that it keeps me up at night sometimes, but in certain ways I feel like I've let the 'Lauren of yesteryear' down. I had so many plans for travel, for change, for constant new experiences, and while I still can have those they look very different that I had imagined in high school/college.
Regardless, life goes on, in unexpected ways. I am excited to see you soon and do something resembling catching up on the years that have passed since we've seen each other last :)
