Have you ever taken a risk and been rewarded for your courage? Or have you had a door get slammed violently in your face, to have another door magically open? This is where I currently find myself. And I find I like it quite a bit.
I recently moved to Seattle, WA. I prefer to call it the "Emerald City" over the "Rainy City". Anyways, I hail from a life before only known in the 4 corners area. I have and always will love Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. However, life had become dull, lack luster, stagnant, redundant, and well booooring.
I found it difficult to find friends and get a decent job, or too have any sort of motivation to do either. I was about to get stuck in this lonely unhappy state, I found myself in. I returned to the summer camp I have spent four summers at now this past summer, and in the midst of it all I made a rash decision. I made the decision to move to Seattle on a whim.
My friend from college lives here, and offered me a place to live. And that is what I based my decision on. I didn't need a job, or a plan, but I knew that what I needed was a change.
So here I am settling into my new life in Seattle. I have been here for a little over two weeks now. And I just got a job, I have awesome roommates, I am playing ultimate, doing Yoga, and genuinely loving life again. There is so much unknown about my current life that thrills me. Who knows what kinds of personalities I'll meet along the way, and what stories I will have to share. I don't know yet, and I find that wonderful!
