It’s been a while since I’ve updated this and life is about to get hectic so I figured I’d better update it now while I have a moment to breathe. Tomorrow morning I will wake up, and move to the great state of Virginia. Not a massive jump, but just enough of a hop to have me slightly anxious about the prospect of what’s to come. I’m not always the biggest risk-taker of the bunch but I’ve learned enough in life to know that everything always manages to work itself out in due time. A few months ago it occurred to me that Sanford, North Carolina didn’t really have much to offer me. Being in a long distance relationship, having a full-time job I couldn’t stand, and having a very limited number of close friends in the area—it didn’t really seem worth it to stick around. I began my job hunt in mid-June with the hope that someone, somewhere, somehow would strike an interest in me and allow me to start a new journey. Four interviews and 1,000 miles on my car later…I received an offer for a position in Roanoke. So the last two weeks of my life have been spent cramming twenty-three years worth of memories into cardboard boxes and kissing Sanford good-bye. While the prospect of knowing only one person (albeit an unbelievably beautiful one) in the entire state of Virginia is a little daunting, I’m hopeful that everything will work out for the best. So here’s to my last official tumblr post as a North Carolinian and hoping that love really does conquer all.
