Last Monday night, I received a very exciting e-mail that made me realize how close I am to finally leaving Corpus.
I had my yearly nervous breakdown and I made it a good one – I was able to plan the next five years of my life in one night, so I didn’t get any sleep.
I kept on thinking about how close it is and how long I have been complaining about various things – how badly I wanted to get out of my parents’ house, how badly I needed my independence, how I know I can totally do way better than Corpus Christi, how badly I needed a college experience (though don’t get me wrong, Del Mar has opened up a lot of doors for me in the journalism field) – and suddenly it was all right there, just waiting for me to make the next move.
In less than two weeks, I will be on my way to visit the place I am hoping to move to and “it is all happening…”
I am at a point in my life where I feel very comfortable with where I am and with everyone around me, but I know that moving and stepping out of my comfort zone is going to be the most important decision I ever make.
I’d like to think of myself as someone who has always reached her goals and I know for a fact I have never let anything get in the way of getting what I want. When it comes to my passion – journalism – I am very ambitious.
It is very scary for me to think that I am going to have to move to a different place where I don’t know anyone and where I will have to start all over, but at the same time I have done that already, when I first moved to Corpus eight years ago. I am prepared now and although I am nervous and scared of what the outcome will be, this is what I have been waiting for and I know I am ready.
