I've realized a lot on this trip. Probably because while you're driving, other than to sing at the top of your voice, listen to NPR and have random road rage - there's nothing to do but think. So I've been doing tons of that. For starters, I've realized that I'm ready to start taking good care of my relationships with friends, family and loved ones. Maybe being completely alone all the time will do that to a person. Another thing, It's not the place, it's the people. Here I’ve been so concerned with where I’m going, but not necessarily as much as who’s there.
After spending nearly a week with Mekenzie and friends, I feel sooo welcome in Charlotte! I love the atmosphere, I love how well I fit in with her friends. I love that everything is so close, but nothing feels too commercialized or overwhelming. Several of her friends own businesses and I’m super excited to do the same. I think I really like Charlotte. And just think, I was playing with the idea of moving down here YEARS ago!
Maybe hanging out on Thomas Street and playing Farkle at Common House and shopping at cute shops and visiting Ikea is what I’ve been looking for.
Maybe now is the time.
Maybe I’m ready.

ReplyDeleteI approve...as long as you come back to Ohio to visit us. We don't get to travel much with Evan, but we could swing by Charlotte sometime maybe.
