I've had some great experiences since my last post. I watched a friend launch an album in London (via the internet). I've been traveling all over and meeting wonderful people. I took the next step in my career... Some heavy lifting for 2 weeks.
I'm not done traveling so I think that's foremost on my mind. It's such a gift to go and experience another part of the world (I've stayed in the country but it can seem like different worlds). I haven't felt this charged for a while...
I love to meet new people and go outside my norms. Traveling does that, but the constant is when I'm in a big city. Even the days when I lived in London and didn't want to leave my flat for anything were exciting because I knew that I could walk outside and experience someone in an instance. You don't have to be in a big city to do that, but my smaller hometown is less of a walking community, and I very seldom meet a new face after living there for so long.
Here's my double blessing drama. My hometown has some of my favorite people in it, but not the lifestyle that I crave at this point in life. The places that allow that lifestyle constantly renew me and push me to grow into myself but don't hold all my dearest no longer is the nearest...
So do I stay where it's comfortable and enjoy the people knowing that I can go visit these energizing places? Or do I move with the knowledge that we've never been able to stay so connected, and I can always visit home?
This choice. It seems to consume my thoughts sometimes. It's overwhelming at times.. but it's a blessing to have it.
