My place after move in! |
I've been doing a lot of thinking about whats really important to me and what I want my future to look like? Where do I want to live? What do I want to be doing with my time/education/career? And who do I was to spend my time with? When I took a long look at my career, family, and living plans, few of my dreams were consistent with what I was doing. I realized I needed to make some active decisions in my life.
Moving to a new city has been a great experience, I had to admit to myself that there was more to life than my job. (At one point, the spending breakdown on my credit card was mostly airfare because I was flying out every weekend.)
My heart was elsewhere. Going to a family reunion really sealed the deal. I realized that I want to be around people that are important to me, and that I have the connections and education to build my career in a geography close to those that I love. It was not an easy decision, but also a somewhat empowering one, to decide to bet on myself!

Five days of packing and ready to go! |
I have a full truck packed and ready to go back to Michigan. I've realized that in order to move forward, I needed to leave the places that just weren't working for me and start over. Here's to the next chapter- my new job, new city, and whatever else life holds for me!
