“I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate, perhaps that’s what no one wants to see...”

Change...it’s an awfully curious thing. I’ve always been a creature of habit...the same daily routines, the same 10 foods eaten in rotation, the same 5 mile driving radius, the same job, the same brand of car-the list goes on. Yet, in my heart of hearts, I’ve always known that there was something else out there for me...places to go, things to see...experiences waiting to be had. In light  of the *pretty major* changes that await me (which are coming up fast!) I’ve been forced to take a step back and take a look at my life up to this point.  I’ve been made to look at the big picture, then begin to tackle the smaller bits and pieces that make up my day to day scene. I kiddingly refer to myself as an ‘adult in quotation marks’, but when faced with making big decisions like these, I can’t help but want to default to the familiar...can’t my mom or dad do it for me?! 😬 Never one to be particularly organized, and in an attempt to stay sane and not become completely overwhelmed, I have several (chicken-scratch-laden) to do lists scattered around my house and car. Somehow, it seems, they keep growing instead of shrinking. Long term and long haul travel require lots of planning...What will I do about my car?! My phone?! My livelihood?! My whole wide life  is centered in and around Milford, CT! Recently I’ve  come to the realization, though, that... Stuff is just stuff. Home will always be home. Life in Milford will go on, as it does. As for me? I will be forever richer for the experiences I’ll have had, and in knowing that I had I was lucky enough to have the chance to do something I’ve always wanted to do...and I took it. Xoxo
