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.

  1. Josh, when I moved to Tallahassee for grad school those many years ago, I had only enough money for 1 quarter of 1 years classes, no place to live and knew no one. It was an amazing adventure and it all worked out. Yes, when it was over I had debt, but I was able to pay that off. Follow your heart and you'll be great. You are an amazing, smart, bright, funny, talented lovely man and I look forward to hearing about your journey along the way. You may not know where you're going, but you're on your way. Take care of yourself my friend. XOXO joella
