i began writing this post last night with a complete different intention. i've finally set a plan in motion and was feeling at peace with my decision. happy even. then, this afternoon everything in my little world turned upside down and is looking a little foggy. my timeline has been cut by 3/4 and we won't even talk about the financial bind this puts me in. *sigh* i think i still believe that "everything happens for a reason" and that "this too shall pass" but damn if it hasn't been one thing after another for the past two years. 0_O
so, here we go. i'm laying it all out for you because honestly, i'm sorry, i simply do not have the time to call everyone who cares about me and discuss it right now between trying to find someone to take over the lease for my apartment, purge, sell, pack, move my stuff, take care of some huge financial responsibilities, WORK, figure out where i'm going to crash for a month and THEN move to chicago. so, i've said it. i've decided to follow my heart and move to chicago and i'm not looking back. the decision found me and i feel at peace about it and i'm happy so we'll just see. i need to follow my heart because honestly, i need another regret like i need a damn punch in the face. i've just applied to two art colleges, one in chicago and one in atlanta, both still huge possibility. by the time all my things are in i may not get into either until spring semester so i'm keeping my options open. so that's that. a crazy day and i really hope i can sleep but i wanted to take a minute and bring you up to speed. xo
Congratulations on making a bold move! Scary, but freeing, all at the same time. I wish you every happiness!!!!!!! Do you know anyone in Chicago? I live in the suburbs; so contact me if you need me!!!
