Spontaneity
For better or worse, I made a change today. My prior plans included me waiting until the 21st of this month to fly out to California, find myself a job, and then fly back home, collect my things, return to CA and start my life there, couch-hopping with friends until I can find and afford a place of my own. This morning, I got tired of the waiting and anticipation, and I quit. I quit my job. I quit waiting. I quit living each day waiting for another day to come.
Now, I pack. This weekend I go with my mother to my cousin’s wedding in Daytona (congrats Nikki and Ray), and when I return from that excursion there will be a final packing of my bags and boxes. Then, California. I’ll leave most of my stuff with my mom in easy-to-ship boxes ready to meet me at whatever beautiful new apartment or hole-in-the-wall warehouse studio I find.
Am I excited? Yes. Am I nervous? Yes. Am I a fool? Yes.
The sky is bright and blue and I am free to go.

Hey Danny, I just checked out your site because I saw your comment on Metafilter and wanted you to link me to the cactus site if you could. :) I live and work in LA and love it. I’m originally from — Daytona Beach, FL — coincidence? If you have any questions about California living drop me a line. And best of luck! –Jenny

[…] isn’t likely to pay me for another week, at the very least. Still, I maintain that coming out here was a good idea, no matter how broke I am, and things will work out […]
