Discipline

Today I got my car officially changed into my name, I got my Florida License plate and car registration; and tomorrow I get my Florida State Drivers License. I will officially be a resident of Florida.

This is a huge wake up call. Do I have the discipline that it takes to dedicate the next few years to myself?  It's easy to work hard when others are depending on you, but when it comes time to buckle down and work for yourself, that can be quite challenging.  It's so easy to sit back and do nothing and be average.  "It’s your [life], your effort, your decision, your results, your triumph, your failure, your struggle, your personal growth, your reward."- John Barban

So to answer the question, Yes; I will do it.

The End

Last night, I received a ride home in a black Saturn that I will most likely never sit in again, I did what I usually do in it, which is try to keep the name tag stickers from falling off. I sat in this car with my best friend for the last time. I wasn't sad, I wasn't happy. I was just ready.


And so, I jump.

I don't need a parachute, just a constant desire to fly

Somewhere

I often am asked the question, "Are you excited to go to Florida?"

I still haven't figured out how to answer. Literally, yes- because excitement is defined as any sort of deviation from an emotional neutral, I suppose that would mean I'm excited. The word excitement however implies that I'm comfortable with that. HA!

To be frank, I've never been more terrified, looming ahead are inevitable debt and giant question marks. I am continuing to learn that it gets harder to be honest the older you get. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but I AM lucky enough to know a few things. A) I don't have to define myself by my career. B) Failure is just another word for opportunity. C) Indecision is the biggest mistake a person can make.

With this, I arrived at my decision to move to Florida. There are NO possible permanent negative outcomes except for debt (which doesn't actually exist), and going only allows me to better pursue one of my many life goals.

So what if I am not sure if its my "passion", the only way to find out is by trying it out.I am in no way prepared for the adventure I'm about to embark on, but I am ready for it.

The things people regret at the end of life are they things they don't do. So, here I am, doing. If I am wrong so be it.

I don't know where I am going, but it will be somewhere.
