Splendid Really!

We love the place we hate, then hate the place we love

We leave the place we love, then spend a lifetime trying to regain it.

I feel like this has been the story of my life over the past two years. I want to live in New York! In LA! In D.C.! And back in San Francisco again! I can’t seem to figure out where I want to be (or sometimes, who I want to be) and it can be incredibly frustrating because I just want it all figured out.

At the same time, I love being young and having the opportunities that I have and being able to wake up tomorrow and say, “You know what? I want to be here now.” Of course, it’s never as easy as all that, but what I mean to say is that I feel grateful that I can be selfish in my life decisions at this point, even as I often wish I had someone to share my life with.

I suppose, in the end, this is just a reminder to myself to be grateful for the way my life is now. Though I often think it’d be nice to have it all figured out, I’m also very aware that I probably never will (figure it all out, that is) and I should just enjoy the journey anyway.
