Things started to happen this week. The universe began to speak to me, I guess I can say, living only 10 or so miles from Berkeley... But really, things in my life began to shift, pushing me toward other things. Ya know? It suddenly became time to get crackin'! And that's both exciting and terrifying.
It started Tuesday when I booked my cruise. Wendesday my roommate texted me to tell me that she might be moving out in May, which I knew might be coming, but still, it freaked me out a bit because it was earlier than I hoped it would be. In an ideal world, it wouldn't have happened until October. We'd both move out at the end of September. Easy. Neatly packaged. Done.
Life is messy, though, but in that mess everything usually works out so much better than we could have ever imagined.
After my roommate texted I began to tear apart my bookshelf and my closet. Piles of things to give away and things to sell have appeared in my house in random places. My neatly constructed life is being deconstructed. I am doing the thing I wished I would do. Seriously. After every trip I'd come home, observe my house, and just all of the stuff I have and wish I could get rid of it all. Bam. It's happening.
I have a million, trillion things to do. Tomorrow I'll call my doctor and start making appointments for vaccinations and travel medication. And every day I'll pack a box, or two, and sort out more things to get rid of. Eventually I'll sell my computer and my Jeep. And have a massive garage sale.
So. I might move out in June. I don't know yet. I might find another roommate. I have no clue. But something will happen. And it's scary, and it's so cool.
What scares you? What are you going to do about it?

My routine gets messed with often and I don't like it I just roll with it. What scares me is when my health isn't well. This makes the rolling with things all that more harder. So I try to stay healthy physically.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably really easy to mess with your routine, having a kid! How are your stress fractures mending? I hope you're well!
DeleteGAH!!! I'm so excited to for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to throw everything I own away. I want to have 3 pairs of pants, 3 shirts and 2 dresses. 2 pairs of pj's and some yoga pants. Bam. Done. I want to shave my head so I have no hair things or products and I wish I was a guy so I didn't need to wear makeup. I just want a simple life and I want to stop cleaning up after everything. This is why Sebastian doesn't have a lot of toys. He's fine.
What scares me? Living teh rest of my life in Scotland. Too cold. Not just the weather either... We're in a funk here. I'm afraid of spending my life in a funk. We got to snap out of it!!!!!!
