I have always been fascinated by the character of Holly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". A girl who was stuck in a life she never planned for or wanted. She decided to make a change and moved away from it all to start a new life as a completely different person.
I think that may be one of the things I am most excited about. Every time you move to a new place it is a chance to start all over again. A chance to reinvent yourself or to return to the truest version of yourself. People and circumstance often complicate things. Maybe that is why Holly never gave the cat a name in the story. Getting attached to people and places often creates a vortex that you can never escape from. For those of you reading this that live in Bakersfield you know what I am talking about.
I am not saying love and family are not important but I do think opportunities often get passed by just because it is easier to retreat to the comfort of common life. Of course taking risks is a frightening prospect but just think of what is at that rainbows end. I am not afraid. I am just a drifter off to see the world, and there is such a lot of world to see.
Only 93 days to go :)
