I was just about to post something about the hassles of moving--then realized that I hadn't yet posted about the important part--I'm moving!
El Ministro and I are going to New York!! Huzzah!
Going to New York is like a dream for me, something I wanted to do from the time I was a kid but never really thought I would get to do. And now I get to do it with the wonderful man I love.
I went to New York, really, for the first time, over Spring Break. The city was blooming in white and purple, Central Park not as I imagined--jutting rocks interspersed with tamed gardens and reservoirs, even a castle somewhere in the middle.
I knew when I was there that it was where I was meant to be--the weather, everything--they had all combined to reveal the particular beauty of this city. I'm moving to be with el Ministro--but I'm moving for me to. To be in New York.
I'm half terrified, scared to start over, have to prove myself again, to pit myself against the city. I've always made sure to go places where I felt like I could be one of the cooler people around. I'll never be sure of that in New York.
I'm half excited, to get to start again, to take a real chance on love for the first time in my life, to get to live near my best friend, hell--it's New York. And I'm going. I'm so going.
moving,
love,
