Codename: Discovering MystiQue

So...who knew that something as seemingly simple as packing up my meagre belongings and setting off into the sunset, to a new state...would have such a HUGE impact on my life. I have been here exactly 21 days, but already...I feel like a new me. Call me naive, but grudgingly packing my bags before the move it never dawned on me that I was abandoning life as I knew it, and creating a blank slate. The (very) few times a scintilla of fear crept into my mind I assured myself that every part of America looked exactly the same. Every state has a Walmart, right? And a Lowes, a Kohls, a Dollar Tree, right? So I didnt expect much, other than the time zone, to change. Boy, oh boy was I wrong.

In the past 3 weeks I have gone through so many different classes of emotions, at some point I stopped trying to keep up!

It's not secret that I hated my college, I literally could not wait to get out of there. The administration and general student body let me down so many times, I learned to expect nothing...so that at times I could be pleasantly surprised when someone actually did what they were supposed to.The one thing I could always count on however, was the noise level. My new place is the complete opposite. I live at the very end of my street. About 20 steps away are woods! They led to a biking/walking trail...and a little further down: a creek. So, umm yeah, it can be verry quiet here.

I am rediscovering me... Where I've been, where I am, where I'm going...how I'm getting there. I've had to re-evaluate what makes me, me. What makes me happy... What I want from life, etc.

I am lovin it!!!!
