Since arriving in CO, Theresa has joked about me finding a job here and moving. I do not want to live here, but the notion of finding employment outside of Virginia has started to shift some ideas in my heart that I did not expect. I think it is important to also say to those of my friends in Lexington at this juncture: I am not itching to go anywhere. It is all a process that I am learning continues as I piece together what my life is, and could be.
Perhaps it is my innate nature that doesn't want to stay in one place that is beginning the process of analyzing my options in a different capacity. Am I always going to want to be on the go? Is staying still scarier then never having one place to be rooted?
Being in your 20's is not easy. I have known this for the entire span I have lived through and often remark that we all survive them. Trying to determine the route of our lives independently from our parents is difficult, and I thought that once you break free from what your family expects for you that the rest is easier. Hah, no its not easier. It's so much more complicated because life presents so many more options then before!
There are the safe bets, there are the decisions that come quickly and easily we don't know if we were making them or if God just moved us through the motions...and then there are these grand questions and choices that we stand on the edge debating and procrastinating.
I wish I had 9 lives like a cat, although I'd chose to be a dog because I love my dog, and I imagine her life is pretty fantastic. If I could do 9 random things in those lives they would consist of:
1) Culinary school in Tuscany.
2) Running an ice cream shop on some beautiful Island in the tropics.
3) Travel writing
4) Full time social coordinator
5) Event and Wedding planner
6) Photography in some capacity with travel
7) Working on a television show as their Music Director
8) Working with some musical artist to manage their merchandise
9) Bed and Breakfast owner
