Thought'd I share something...I normally don't put personal stuff up in my journals. Its usually just random silly stuff. But I'm thinking about making some changes in my life and I thought I'd share them. If you have any feedback feel free to share. But I'm writing this to get it out of my head and give it some legs. And maybe psych myself up a little.

Well, cut to the quick, I want to move to St. Petersburg Florida. I've been living in Hawaii for the past 7 years now. And you'd think I'd be happy in paradise but I'm not.

Well, cut to the quick, I want to move to St. Petersburg Florida. I've been living in Hawaii for the past 7 years now. And you'd think I'd be happy in paradise but I'm not. I'm not particularly close to anyone here, I've had a hard time meeting people since I got out of college. And the people that I did met in college have all gone off to other places. I stayed here because I thought I could make a life here. And I'm sure I would have continued to try to make a life here if I hadn't taken a recent vacation to see my Grandparents in Florida.

They're getting on in age (surprising, I know) and they need more help now. They don't want to leave their home so my family visits them every few months. But it can be difficult because my family has responsibilities and sometimes the space between the visits are long. I had a realization though when I was staying with them. I could move to Florida, start a "new life", and be around to check up on my Grandparents.

I mentioned my idea to my family. At first they were worried but they realized it might not be a terrible idea. And now they're giving me full support. So its pretty exciting. I'm nervous already (I hope to leave the beginning of July). There's a lot of planning I need to do. A lot of things that need to be checked and taken care of. I need to strip my stuff to bare bones to take with me but looking around my apartment I see there's plenty of things I can live without.

But yeah, that's the idea. And an added bonus, stuff won't be so damned expensive in Florida ha!
