* Finding your path *

My theme of this year is change. I have made some very big changes this year, and am in the middle of one currently. I recently moved myself and one large suitcase of my valuables (clothes, shoes, and computer) to Boulder, CO, where I currently reside in a rented room. I sleep on a hard, twin mattress on the floor and I wake up some mornings thinking "what the hell am I doing?".

Change is good, change is necessary, and change is HARD. Luckily, I am surrounded by people who help remind me that what I'm doing is exactly what I need to be doing right now. I have faith that the path I choose will eventually get me to my destination, even if I am unsure. All I have to do is keep walking.

* Changes *

Obviously I have been MIA from the blog world for the past 5 months. I have my reasons, but, I'm hoping to change it.

I actually have exciting news! I recently quit my job (last day was yesterday) in order to explore more of myself and the world. I bought a ticket to Barcelona in August, and another ticket from London to Boston in October. So, I have two months to travel around Europe, see all the amazing things in person that I've only seen on a slide projector in art history class. I've been wanting to do a trip like this for a while, but have never really had the guts, or a reason. Then I realized, I'm never going to have the guts or a reason, so why not give myself both?

So, here I am creating an opportunity for myself that will at least be amazing, and at most be life-changing. Sometimes, in order to move forward and become the person you want to be, you have to make some changes. Some of which can be extremely difficult, and most of which will make you feel a little unsteady. But, although change is never easy, it is inevitable. And, I've been fighting it for far too long. I'm ready for it now. Bring it on!
