Changes by Langhorn Slim

There is a song that perfectly defines life the last few months, Changes by Langhorne Slim (if you have never listened please pause your read and do so now - no seriously listen to it).

“Things could be stranger but I don’t know how, I’m going through changes now.”

The past two months have been a strange blur of change after change. In February my partner and I decided it was time to go after our dreams and make the long debated, long discussed move to California. Two short weeks later he left to drive cross country solo and start our journey there for us while I tied up loose ends back in New York. A month later in March I turned in my notice to the job I neither loved nor hated. It was a job I happened upon and said “this will work until I figure out what I really want to do” then 6 years passed by and there I remained - sound familiar? Now in less than a week I will be making the cross country journey out to California - don’t worry Mina is coming along. What will I do for a job you ask? I don’t know! Where are we moving to? We have a long term stay Air BnB and after that, I don’t know! How will Mina do in the car? I don’t know! My life is filled with “I don’t knows.” A few years ago that would have killed me. I am a typical type A girlie. You want to go to a restaurant, cool I’m going to look it up to make sure I can eat there. You want to meet up on the weekend, I need to know what we are doing and when so I can prepare. I need a plan. Well this journey has no (minimum) plans, only possibilities. While I am scared of what lies ahead, I am also invigorated. I feel alive and excitement and sadness like never before. I like many was trapped in the monotony of life. Wake up, go to work, watch a movie, go to bed - repeat - and while there was comfort and safety in that life there was no creation, no growth. As my 30th birthday approaches it is time for a shake up of epic proportions. My own Eat, Pray, Love if you will. So follow along for the journey of unknowns. Will there be bumps, absolutely, but truly how better to learn. May this also be your sign to shake things up in your own life, because what is really holding you back except for yourself?
