One way ticket....
We leave next Tuesday.
Main emotion → fear.
Like what the f&ck are we doing?? We’re uprooting our entire life. Leaving everything and everyone we know. My beloved blow dryer with the wonderful diffuser!! And of course our family and friends too, lol.
These past few weeks have been like a whirlwind. Ever since we closed on our house at the end of April, it has felt like the speed of time has tripled. We went to stay at my sister’s for about a week, then we had our family trip to Mexico. And fast forward to today, we are a week away.
I feel like I “should” be more excited. And it’s definitely in there, somewhere. But also a lot of fear.
Last night (with the help of some margaritas) I realized something about myself that I don’t think I’ve ever put into words or even had the audacity to feel about myself: I’m really brave. I walk towards the things that scare me. Whether it’s changing jobs for growth and learning, to hiking a glacier in Iceland, to IVF at 42 after it didn’t work 10 years ago, to quitting the corporate grind. All of those things scared me every single time. Yet every single time, I came out on the other side enriched, with new learnings and experiences. So, while I may not really be “ready” for it, it’s time. And I KNOW this is where I’m supposed to be because life has led me here. See you on the other side!!
