and those we leave behind. Nothing quite like geographical uprooting to lend some perspective on just how much stuff you have and how great the place you are leaving is. I've been spending my time honing in on what is most essential, finding good homes for the things I will no longer need and making the most.
This year has been a great one. I've made swift strides toward being the person I want to be by doing the things I want to do. I've been really enjoying who I am, what I'm doing and who with. I have tended and cultivated ideas into action, encounters into connections and emotions into contentment. I have thrived.
This summer has been deliciously bittersweet. When I see people and places I hold dear, appreciation and esteem mixes with melancholy and remorse. Excitement for unknown ahead mixes daily with the sadness of the well-known and well-loved I will leave behind.
