elsewhere
(i realize this picture has nothing to do with what i am about to talk about. however, it is applicable to other situations in my life right now, so we're just going to roll with it. deal.)
one of the things that has yet to be crossed of my list of things to make happen is that i want to move somewhere else. as in live there. for an undefined period of time - not like when i studied abroad in ecuador or spain or nyc. in those situations i had a plan and a return ticket. i knew i would be with other students, that made it less scary. i wasn't "alone."
i was thinking about this concept yesterday since i have been dreaming about moving to colorado so much lately. that's when i realized something.
picking up and moving across the country by myself is not something that is going to make me happy.
i will one day live in another state or country, but if i had to guess, i will not do it alone. i will move with a friend or a someone.
it's not that i'm scared or that i couldn't do it. if i wanted to, i totally could. i know that. but i know that's not what this desire is about. it's about setting up my life elsewhere with someone else. having that adventure together.
someday, i will do that. someday, i will find my partner-in-crime. we will be in the right place at the right time to make that adventure happen.
for now, i am content with the realization and look forward to the day that journey unfolds. in the meantime, i will very soon be crossing something off my list. stay tuned!
happy friday my loves!
