Well, it's 7 days before I pack up my moving van and say my last good-byes. Then it's one last blast of a party and I wake up the next day to pull out of Portland, my home for the last 3 years.
Life is really funny. It took me 2 years to find friends in PDX, and here I am a year later leaving everything and everyone I love. Well, except Miss Tallahassee, but she's never been geographically close from the start.
My hair stylist said some of the sweetest things to me while cutting my hair Thursday. #1 Things like my business not taking off often happen for the best reasons. For instance, I now have the chance to pursue career as a chemist, something I have yet to do since college. Also, I can give my relationship a real chance by moving geographically closer to my girlfriend. And #2 I am a really great person and deserve great things in this world, and great things are in store for me. This one just speaks for itself. My stylist and I don't see each other often, but it was really touching to have someone who only sees you once every 3 or 4 months tell you how great you are as a person. I've also thought I was pretty keen, but it's always nice to hear it.
And so, I begin a sorrowful countdown. Who knows perhaps I will visit from time to time. All I know is a feel like I'm at the very beginning of a fun-filled adventure. Action-packed and all that jazz. Where this path will lead me, I do not know. But for anyone who wishes to share in the stories, I will be just an electronic message away.
