Undertaking an epic journey, for real.
Feel sad instead of expected excitement.

grandmonster What a great year this is!
Oh my!
I think that any changes, especially major changes bring up fear in most people. Fear shows up as sadness, anger, loss. I’m not surprised that you would expect excitement and feel some sadness. I hope the next corner you turn brings back the excitement and puts to bed the sadness.

Thank you....
I’m in such a fragile place right now it isn’t even funny and your words help a lot. :’)
I felt all of those things on this trip: fear, sadness, anger, loss. But there was also excitement and moments of contentment and exhilaration.
I’ve always wanted to move to California, but I left so much behind…I don’t know hardly a soul out here. It took everything in me not to turn around and run home. And it is beautiful here, and strange. The air is different.

The wonderful
thing about being the one to leave, rather than the one left behind, is that there is excitement in all the new stuff. Of course there will be days when you say “What was I thinking?” And, that will pass.
For the first 21 years of my life, I traveled. My family moved every 18-36 months. I lived in Germany, France, Italy, Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky and Massachusetts. And, I didn’t discover what it was like to be left behind until I was in my late 20’s. I’ve been left behind a lot since then. It is okay, too.
I like
your picture a lot. You are adorable!
And I am proud of you for being brave.

Thank you!
I don’t feel brave at the moment. I have used it all up.
