Life! Come Back! Don't Leave Me, I Swear I'll Be Good This Time!


I woke up on my 27th birthday, made my typical breakfast (French Vanilla coffee, Luna bar & banana), worked a 12hr day, ordered a dress off the internet, and off to bed I went. Then it suddenly hit me:

WHERE HAVE THE LAST FEW YEARS GONE?

I just kinda gave up, I've been on autopilot. I honestly don't remember anything significant happening in years, and I realized that I'm no longer enjoying life. What happened? Everything happened I guess...

So I jumped out of bed and decided to change my entire life. I planned out a surgery to (hopefully) put an end to my chronic pain, worked for a few months to save up money, sold 3/4 of my amazing vintage furniture & clothing, and waited for the 'go ahead' from my parents to move into their house.

Finally the opportunity arose, and one weekend I quit my job, packed up my shit, and moved to Omaha. And although the circumstances are shitty, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I brushed that bullshit right off my shoulders, left everything in the past, and am on the way to starting a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW FRESH & CLEAN LIFE!

A pain-free existence, new job, new city, new outlook...I absolutely REFUSE to miss one more day of life.

PLANS:
1. Sell everything.
2. Leave Denver.
3. Plan surgery.
4. Have Surgery.
5. Recuperate.
6. Move in 3 months.
7. Enjoy every minute of my new warm, beachy, sunny life.


*The photograph was taken during my 12hr drive from Denver when I stopped to set flowers on my grandpa's grave. It was 1am, and my shining my headlights on the gravestones was the only way I could find his name.
