So cheers all of you beautiful people!
And happy 4th of July!
So last 4th was the day that I told Michael I no longer wanted to be together and was planning to move out after the summer and potentially move to Portland. And Lo and behold here I am.
I had a mixed bag of a week. I definitely got a little down on myself because I am still figuring out my life plan.
Take these pictures for example:
This is the willow patch I am sitting in this very instant.
The first picture is a shiny light. It's a light that drew me out here wanting greater things.
The second is a blurred out explosion of light and excitement that I try my hardest to keep up with.
The third is a clean and clear picture of what is actually there. I am starting to find that clarity.
Moving to a new place is hardest because people don't show their true selves off the bat. People want you to feel welcome when really what is going down is a false sense of reality. I'm not speaking of anyone specific here but I just starting to get my true sense of Oregon and what it means to be an Oregonian. And yes that is an actual term: Oregonian.
I love it here. There is so much to explore and be excited about in my immediate vicinity at all times. I'm constantly looking forward to the next most amazing adventure. And I don't see that stopping anytime soon. That being said; the clarity thing comes back into the picture with the fact that I'm 32, I still need to work and I really need a chill day for every couple day adventure I take. And I really like that chill day!
So earlier in the week I bought me a mountain bike and I felt on top of the world. I found this amazing place on the water with so many sailboats
....much resembling one of my favorite Boston spots.
In that moment, I felt like I wanted to post a list of all the crazy, cool things I have accomplished since I've gotten here. And then like 3 days later I was bumming for not having my act completely together.
I know today, I am on the right track. I work as little as possible so I may enjoy my new city. And its vicinity. And my new friends. And most important my life. I plan on trying to establish myself once I create my own perfect business plan. And not a minute after that!
