The big move.

So it's official. Yes folks, the word is out: I am moving to Boston in a little over a week. I put in my two weeks notice to my supervisor a week ago and my last day working at the Global Institute of Sustainability will be this Friday. It's all quite exciting really. A bit nerve racking, yes, but still extremely exciting. It's actually been something I've been thinking about since before I graduated from college. I love NYC and always will. It's a city full of adventure, culture, and life. I'm so lucky to have had the opportunity to have gone to school in the area and wouldn't trade it for the world, but I've also come to appreciate the lay back nature of Arizona. After four years of face-paced craziness, it was nice to come home for a bit to a familiar setting and a great support system made up of my family and friends. I was able to get back on my feet, refocus, and finally get the gumption to go for it, whatever "it" might be. As I mentioned, I had wanted to live in Boston after I graduated, but wasn't sure if it was the right thing for me. But after visiting Lola in November, I soon realized that there was still much to see and do on the east coast and that my time in Arizona would soon be coming to a close. I loved the sights and sounds of the city, the commotion and vitality of it all, but I also appreciate the quiet and quaint suburbs of the Boston area. Having seasons was something I missed in Arizona and I loved the idea of being able to have snow days, even in the event of shoveling snow, and to watch the world awaken after a winter slumber. It's just so magical. But just the idea of a new adventure was appealing to me. I had been in NY for four years, I grew up in Arizona, it's time to explore somewhere else and what better place than Boston?

So with a little luck, and perhaps a little insanity, I decided to go for it, to make the move, and so here I am with less than a week left at my very first post-collegiate job, preparing to take another trek across the country to a new place of discovery. And I'm not entirely sure which career path I'm going to follow, or even whether I'll be choosing one any time in the near future. Obviously I'll get a job, but whether or not it will last for twenty plus years to retirement, we will have to see. The Unknown is pretty scary, I mean, practically my whole life I've had a plan and right now I pretty much don't, at least not for the long term. And that makes me wonder where I will be in a year? Five years? Ten years? But I have to say, I'm ok with that. The suppense is awesome. To think that every day holds the potential to dramatically change your life, that's a pretty awesome idea.
