End of one chapter, Beginning of the Next.

I thought that after college things would come easy, that I would know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and things would be simple.  I was quickly  brought to reality when I found myself stuck and frustrated with how things in my life were going. It took a while (if you’re familiar with my blog you know that) but I finally realized that I needed change and a fresh perspective to achieve anything.

            In saying that, this week has been a whirlwind of emotions; a weird mix of excitement and a twinge of sadness. You see, for the past couple of years Ocean City has been my home. I worked for a cool company and with amazing people. Made more memories than I could ever imagine and built friendships that I know will stand the test of time. But I knew the fresh perspective I needed meant leaving this all behind, and that was/is way harder than I imagined. I chose to apply to school, for a job in a different city and talked with friends about making trips out west or down south. I have left my options open and in doing so I’ve realized that life is so much more exciting when you don’t know your routine by heart.

My official last day of work is tomorrow, but I hardly have time to think because I catch a flight on Saturday for Puerto Rico. I’m hoping that maybe time away from this snow and a little R&R will help me make a choice as to what my next move may be, but if it doesn’t then I guess I’ll watch as things fall into place.

            A friend of mine told me that being too comfortable in something is bad, so maybe this is the most extreme way to jolt myself out of this comfortable phase that I’m in and into something so much better.  My question for you is, Are you happy or are you just comfortable? Choose wisely, and make changes accordingly.

Stay tuned
