The World Keeps Spinning, As Do I. . .

Time goes by so fast. It's unbelievable. I started this new chapter of my life almost 6 months ago. Cannot believe I have been living in Charlotte for 1/2 a year already! I remember how ready, but how scared I was to move at first. . . all I knew was that it was a step that I had to take. God, I remember breaking down in VA on the side of the highway and feeling completely helpless. What a great start to my new life I had thought.

Having to step away from everything and everyone that is familiar has made me grow more into myself and what I ultimately want. And that is a great thing. Just great.

Everyone says that the first year out of college is the hardest, but I don't neccessarily agree. . .it's just the biggest SUDDEN transition. No more class, homework, thirsty thursdays (ok...well that last one still exists sometimes). I've done pretty well for myself since moving here I think. I have found a job, even if it's not the one I want I work just as hard, and have met some great people whom I would be sad to leave behind if  I took off somewhere new.

 Funny how a place can grow on you in such a short span of time.


Now I'm standing on the verge of going back to NY for my first visit. Very excited to say the least. I cannot wait to go back and rediscover the familiar yet unfamiliar, knowing that since my dissappearance so much has changed, and will continue to. The world keeps spinning, as do I. . . and while it does I continue on the road to where I want to be.

And to me that is simply beautiful.
