Tomorrow is...
...the first day of the rest of my life.
Yeah, it's a corny line we've all heard (and joked about) a million times or more....except. Except, well, that it's true sometimes. Like tomorrow, when I wake up early, get dressed, pack my bedding/computer/toiletries into the U-Haul truck sitting out front, and drive 6 or 7 hours south...to Maryland. This time for sure. To stay, as it were. This is the biggest leap I've made yet...it's a leap that leaves nothing behind to jump back to. No home waiting for me elsewhere, no apartment that's all paid, if I need to cut and run.
I'll sign a lease on an apartment I've never seen, in a town I've never been to, in a state I've only visited for a total of 3 months ever... and pray to my gods that everything works out. Pray that the drive is easy, that the paperwork is ready and works out, that everything can be moved in without incident. I'll pray that I come in under budget, on time, and with some to spare...that the prospects I've investigated manifest themselves. Prayer for my mind and my heart in a place I have no attachment to, yet, that being far from friends and family shan't weigh on my mind. Prayers of thanks for what has been and will be, and that my love and I are close to one another, again.
Pray with me, let the gods hear us and soothe us.
Let what will be and must be, be.
Be well, all.
