On the Road Again…🎶

There’s a certain hollow feeling in my heart today. That kind of feeling where you know you are leaving everyone and everything behind in search of a grand unknown. There have been so many changes in my life this year, neither good nor bad, but change in and of itself leaves the heart feeling raw. It’s exciting, and enticing, to flit away from any ties or relationships you have, to start fresh, if only to remind yourself again how wonderful it is to be loved. Having felt buried under a weight of responsibilities for so long, I am elated to come up for air once more, and float weightlessly atop the ocean that I had struggled in for too long.

It’s difficult to put into words how I’m feeling, on the brink of new adventure. I like to call my current frame of mind my “brain soup” due to the swirling nature of my emotions. There is melancholy at what I’m (literally) walking away from, a sweeping anxiety around the “what ifs” and a playful, joyful side to myself resurfacing that I am excited to kindle once more. But at the root of it all is a blissful knowing that I walk forward having made the right decision. (Let’s see if I say the same thing in a few weeks) 😀

My belly is full with all of the love I have received over the last several weeks. So many goodbye’s, hugs, tears, and endless food. I hope you all realize that I literally carry you with me now, having gained an additional 5 pounds from so many hearty meals, haha. On that note, it’s time to wrap up packing, because the drive begins tomorrow!
