My last few nights in Texas I spent laying on my roof looking up at the sky. The immensity of it along with the calm it would bring me was purely amazing. I came to a realization but I'll discuss that at the end. I've been in California for about a month now. And it's been great. But I won't lie, the first few days I was a bit uneasy. I became nervous because I didn't know if maybe I had made a mistake. What if I wouldn't love it as much as I'd hoped? What if I'd regret my decision of leaving a place I was comfortable and already had friends?
Then I remembered the best decisions are the ones that make you uncomfortable. This decision will help me grow into the person I've always wanted to be. L.A. is filled with endless opportunities for success that I would not have seen in the small town of Seabrook. I remembered that this has always been my dream and I'm going to be fine. I'm going to be better than fine, I'll be living a life I love. Recently I realized I don't 100% know what I want to do with my life. I just know I want to own a business, travel, and be happy. I want to create a life I love. I want to go on late night drives listening to music with friends. I want to go on a picnic on the beach at sunset. I want to dance in the rain and make tons of memories with friends. I want to continue to love unconditionally and live without regrets. Indy Blue, my idol, inspires me so much because she created a life she loved. She chased her dreams, made memories, and is truly happy.
I love being out here. Being able to drive down to Mailbu for sunset makes me happy. Shopping in downtown and exploring the area makes me happy. Making new friends is exciting. I know that somedays I might miss the comfortable feeling Texas gave me. But the nerves I have are good and exciting because it means I'm about to experience something great. Something better than I can even imagine. So back to the beginning, I realized something from the sky. I realized that no matter how far I am outside of my comfort zones or where I am in the world I can look up at the sky and find comfort in the consistency. Knowing that we all share the same sky is awe striking and peaceful. It reminds me that whether in Texas, California, Europe or where ever I may end up, we're all alive under the same stars and paving our own paths.
