almost there

well, my bags are all ready to go. Its been a great year or so Atlanta, but its time for me to return to some unfinished business up in the big NYC. I know that I have always said that you are not my home- and I am sure that you  will be considered 'home' for a little while, but lets be honest, home is where the people you love are. So, wherever T is, or my parents or my brother, those places are home. So yes, for a time, while T and I are there, I guess you are kinda home. But don't take that too seriously. There are a few things I still need to do up there, become a famous writer, of course, shake and change some things up- maybe change someone's life, maybe run the NYC half marathon, maybe go back to school? All I know is that I have never not finished a challenge, and NYC is not going to be the first obstacles I could not over come. I will not let the city or the obstacles beat me. This time I am armed with some pretty tough ammunition- my man right behind me to catch me when I fall, a few friends I have picked up along the way, and a brain that is one year smarter and ready for this.

I had a lot of people tell me this would never happen, or that doubted my return. Crazy things one will do for love and for someone else. Who would have thought- but crazier things have happened. I guess I now understand what people mean when they say they will follow you to the moon and back. I get it.

I was speaking with my mom tonight about life, and different things changing. I realized that life is that thing that just tends to happen while you are concentrating on other things. I want to pay  more attention to the things that are happening right in front of my face- take in life with both eyes wide open, instead of looking across the way for something bigger and better.What is in front of my eyes right now is pretty cool- pretty huge and pretty life changing... and it all starts tomorrow.

Welcome back blog, welcome back to my journey and my inspiration. Welcome back to the feeling of adventure and excitement. This feeling has been asleep for a little while, almost 8 or 9 months to be exact, but I'm 23 now... just starting the time of my life... in a new city... for the second time around.

Peace, love and see you tomorrow NYC,
B
