22 Days.
The number of days I have left in Utah, around everything and everyone I know.. Well, outside of life back in California, but for all intent and purpose, Utah is home, it's where I've spent a good portion of life, and where I'll be leaving in a few short weeks.
Lately, I'm filled with a lot of emotions, some I can't quite put to words; needless to say, they range from excitement, to nervousness, nostalgia, melancholy, to even a deep sadness, though not for the reasons most will imagine. I just know I'm closing a chapter in my life, one I feel started when I met Her, and with her writing Her own story, following Her dreams, I know when I close this chapter, I need to focus on mine and not look back so much. I'm excited for this Adventure though, and I walk into it with my head up and my back straight, vision unclouded, though blurry from tears I'm sure.
I'm excited to see New Mexico, as silly as that sounds. It's new to me and is the first step into my Adventure, and after a few days of prepping while there, I'll start this journey in full.
“Somewhere, far away from here
I saw stars, stars that I could reach (yeah)
It was a midnight, a silent twilight
Fell down, beyond the ocean beach (yeah)”
