I’m here. Starting the soul-searching adventure of a lifetime. This is the kind of shit movies are made of…
Let’s go over *why* I’m here. In a nutshell- a little one, like a single peanut, not the double peanut- (hey, by the way, where the HELL did that phrase originate??) I’d been living in Georgia for 22 years. College didn’t work out, love didn’t work out, rental home living didn’t work out, then life didn’t work out and I spent some time in a mental facility (yeah, I’ll write about that later), and after a catalytic fight with a roommate I impulsively decided to get OUT. Life was draining the life out of me. Dreams weren’t coming true, I couldn’t find fulfillment, and I had lost so much in so little time. I’d gained the accompanying wisdom, but to learn so many lessons in such a compressed slot was almost unbearable. So with 30 around the corner, I decided to close this chapter of my life. I took out my retirement money and started packing.
The coming blogs will be about my travels to find a new home. They will come from Michigan, New Orleans, Austin, Tuscon, Oakland, SanFran, Mt. Shasta, Oregon, and possibly Washington. I’ll also include epiphanies, sardonic delight, and strange metaphysical ponderings.
Welcome to my “big transition.”
