Much like my dear friend Destiny I am going to start a blog...I feel like a lot of things in my life are ridiculous and out of the ordinary so might as well entertain myself among others.
As of today around 7:45pm I am no longer a resident of Iowa City. Three years, a degree, a lost friendship, and countless gained friendships happened there so I suppose you could say a lot of shit went down. It felt odd leaving tonight. My empty room was sad to look at. I just packed all my stuff into boxes and left like it was nothing, no celebration or goodbye party or anything, just a casual "bye apartment!" and on the road I went. It could have everything to do with the fact that I am preoccupied with the fact that I'm going on the most perfect dream vacation this Wednesday.
Perfect Dream Vacation Itinerary:
1. Fly to L.A. (for 14$ mind you)
2. Party with new and old friends
3. Meet up with Auren and Jonathon and Sean
4. Interview for a wellness coaching job
5. Party more
Part 2: Road Trip
First up north through Cali, camp a little, couch surf a little, hug a redwood, etc.
Then down to VEGAS! Dangerous but exciting
Then I'm not sure. Do I fly home? Do I continue the magical mystery tour? I'm basically putting these decisions into the hands of the universe because it was fate that made me happen upon these amazing people and this opportunity to see the world and the country in a light I've never seen. Living in the moment is something I have always been terrible at doing. I've been a planner since I can remember, but letting go feels good. So in the moment I will stay, I like it here.
Sadly this beautiful adventure will have to end at some point and then I'm back in Des Moines, back in the waiting place, to make money and spend time with family until my next adventure. I give myself until the end of the year to decide where I'm going to live next but my plan is to move as far away as possible under the assumption that slowly but surely I'll gravitate back toward home.
I always thought that I would have more figured out upon graduating college. I also used to think that I would find the love of my life in college, and you can guess how accurate that assumption was. So freshly 21 with school behind me and life ahead of me...here goes
Keep tabs on me to find out where I am for the next few weeks...I'm guessing it will be pretty random
