I have had a lot of time to think, rediscover myself, and get on the page I want to be on in my life. Moving here was a really hard decision for me, but a decision that needed to be made. I had split support from my family on this and in a way they felt as if I abandoned them. I needed to be selfish and do this, for me, I am in the point in my life where I am ready to learn, explore, become the person I have always wanted to be and do it on my own. This is probably one of the scariest things I have ever done, I am ready to fail, but I cannot wait to succeed.
I cannot wait to discover to this city and find my coffee shop, bar, park, beach, local hangout, favorite food, etc. Charleston has so much to offer me and I am ready to explore. This weekend I am going to my first Charleston Riverdogs game, checking out a farmer's market and shrimp festival and meeting up with a friend from high school who lives here as well. I have found the Charleston City Paper is a great resource and even has, "The Best of Charleston" article that has lead me to some gems :)
I cannot get over how beautiful this city is and where I live is great:
Hopefully there will be more to come shortly, so I will sign off with this quote:
"As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know it is scary to move away from everything you know, and most of your friends and family. It will make you a stronger person though, I have noticed that I am becoming more independent and just curious to see what else is out there! I have found my move very liberating! Technically I am not by myself since I am married now, but John has been and will be gone a lot so I am forced into learning how to get along in a new city pretty much alone. Good luck on your journey, I look forward to reading the blog!
