This week has been very focused on Cap Hill and as I was
having coffee with my soon to be new roommate I told him, “This week I am going
to truly enjoy Cap Hill and be here now.
As much as I am excited for this new adventure and a new place to live I
want to enjoy what I currently have.”
This afternoon I was talking to a friend and I said, “I think I know
what cold feet feels like.” She was rather confused, as I am not getting
married anytime soon. What I explained
to her was that as I am still committed to this new adventure and I am so
excited about it and about having a roommate again and particular living with
one of my closest friends on the planet.
But I am sad to leave Cap Hill, I am a little nervous about the changes
that are about to happen and if I will even like these changes.
Prior to moving to Cap Hill I have moved something like 7
times in 3.5 years. Not because I could
not decided where to live but because things just happened and I actually
enjoyed the adventure. After being on
the road for 1.5 years and moving on average every 5 days with Up with People those
3.5 years with 7 moves felt like slowing down for me. I have lived in Cap Hill 8.5 years and I
think it has just gotten comfortable, it is safe and routine for me. It became so routine that I did not
appreciate it as much as when I first moved here.
Over these last few days I have fully engaged myself again
and remembered why I had moved here and what I love about it. The beauty of moving away is that I get to
visit, I get to love it all over again…it will be like a destination resort. I am excited for that. I am excited to feel like when I come here it
is like visiting home, visiting family and visiting a community I just love so
damn much.
