Final Destination
It is official that I am moving back to Seattle in January. Nothing could make me happier unless I could just move now! NYC has a lot to offer someone, but it also has a lot of distractions. I am hoping with this move that I will be able to get all my old good habits back. This includes going to bed before 4am, drinking less, waking up early, working out, not losing sight of goals I have, and having time to appreciate things even if it just having a cup of coffee and relaxing at my favorite cafe. I have learned a lot of things here that will carry over as well, I am a stronger person now. I have no problem standing up for myself in any situation where people try to take advantage. Before I just liked to be the nice girl that never argues, and hopefully I can still be that nice girl .. that doesn’t put up with anything :)
Things I will miss here are simple things. Like my rushed routine of grabbing coffee and heading to work, being able to have any sort of food delivered haha, pretty sights like the Chrysler Tower just blocks away, or the amazing restaurants here and fancy dessert bars. And obviously there are a few people in which I hope I never lose contact with, although distance is terribly hard.
Looks like 2010 will be a great start in heading the right direction for my future :) Back to my family, best friends, and feeling content with simple pleasures in life.

When you lose everything you want, you find everything you need.

Twenty more days until I am back in this beautiful city with my family and friends for a whole week and a half!

Why is life so confusing? I have wanted to move to Manhattan for so long and always thought of Seattle as so boring with nothing to do. I spent my whole bank account moving here. Now that I graduated and am living the NY life (for 15 months so far) and am here my thoughts switch. Just seeing anything at all resembling Seattle at all makes me feel upset. ANYTHING! I live in a city where so many people dream of coming and I can’t appreciate it at all. I feel as though NYC is not what is appears to be at all. If your a tourist I get it, I’m sure it seems great. For me though… it just seems like an endless dark tunnel that I can’t find my way out of. Don’t get me wrong, I have found great friends, great education, and excellent learning experiences out of living here that no one else would understand. It is just something though about hearing people mention Seattle. Seattle is such a genuine city with brilliant ideas and real people. NYC is just a depressed city with fake things. Don’t think that I’m bitter.. I am not!! I graduated my school fine and still live a good life with great people, but it comes down to me just missing my favorite city

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
