Onward! Upward!
So by now, if you have read more than one or two entries of this blog, you may realize that I am somewhat of a restless spirit and am eager to move on to another part of the world. Today I have decided to stop wishing and be more proactive in my pursuit of this goal. As I speak I am applying to a variety of jobs that would take me, at the very least, across the Mississippi River. I don’t know what it is I hope to find there, but I imagine it will be more than I have here in Richmond.
Of course there are a number of things crossing my mind as I begin to plan this out. I will be leaving behind a lot of people that really matter to me and have all played a large part in my life up to this point. I will be far away from the larger part of my family (not necessarily a bad thing- with the exception of Dad whom I have no desire to elude). Despite this, I still feel the need to travel and see what it is the world has to offer me. I don’t doubt that I will return to the East Coast at some point in life- but for now it is time to expand.
Moving is another big concern for this adventure. I’m gonna have to drive. There’s no way around that and it’s likely to be a long haul. Don’t get me wrong, I am biting at the bit to drive across country in my own car… but I am not looking forward to spending upwards of $600 to do so. Fortunately I have an insanely fuel efficient car for its size. I seem to find a positive for every negative in this situation, which is only encouraging me even more. Right now, there is nothing holding me back. I have to do this.
