Most of the goodbyes have been said, with only a few more left. I’ve cried a little, laughed a lot, and eaten enough to last me the next ten years. Promises have been made to keep in touch—frequent texts, shared locations, and moments that will keep us connected across the distance. This marks the beginning of a new journey, one where I’m decentering the external pressures and focusing on what really matters—my own needs and health.
Right now, I feel calm. I’m ready, focused, and excited about what’s to come. While there’s sadness in leaving my friends behind, especially the comfort of their proximity, I’m thrilled to be starting down a new path. It’s a path that reignites my passion for writing, where I’ll take a million pictures and meet unexpected people along the way.
This journey isn’t just about the physical miles I’ll be traveling, but the emotional distance I’ve covered to get here. It’s about letting go of the old, familiar patterns and stepping into something new—something I’ve dreamed of for so long. There’s a peace in knowing I’m doing this for me, for my own growth, joy, and healing.
To all the people who’ve shared hugs, meals, tears, and laughter with me over these past few weeks, I’ll carry a piece of you with me wherever I go. And to the future, I’m ready for you—ready to chase what sets my soul on fire and to embrace the unexpected moments that will shape the next chapter of my life.
Here’s to new beginnings, a new journey, and finding peace in the unknown.
