Hello kids. Big changes have taken place and I feel like writing it down for y'all.
I have uprooted my whole life and moved to Philly. It's insane and I'm still not sure I made the right decision but it needed to happen. I know it's mostly in my head but I really was going nowhere in Orlando. I became too complacent with just going to work and going out. I had it too easy and became lazy. I wanted more out of life and I wanted that fire back. I wanted to be hungry again.
Philadelphia is a whole different animal than anywhere I have lived. So far I don't have a job which really stresses me out but I am determined to get one soon. Many say it's insane to leave two good jobs for nothing in this struggling economy but I felt the risk was worth it. In some weird way I welcomed the challenge and wanted this to test me and make me a stronger person. If I can make this work in these times, I can do anything I put my mind too. I want this city to force me to man up.
The people up here are interesting. It seems to be more of my scene but so far I haven't made any real friends. It fucking tore my heart out to leave all the people I loved back home. Hopefully it was worth it. Since I have a lot of time for myself now I really want to work on some personal goals and become ok with being alone. I've relied on people far too much in the past and never really wanted to be home alone. I'll have time to get comfortable being me. I need to start doing more arts/creative things again since this city is full of creativity and I would like to finally learn how to play my acoustic guitar I put down months ago.
It was a rough journey getting up here. I was in the ER the day before I left for a stupid accident and in the Philly ER a week later after I broke my elbow skateboarding. Well as the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I hope thats the case.
As I write this I am blasting this, thank you and enjoy
