Separate Worlds

As I anxiously await the arrival of my best friend, Kenna, this evening... I have been thinking about the total separateness of my life in Ohio & my life in Florida... Kenna is the first person to come visit me, which will make this whole journey seem more realistic. A lot of the time... my life down here feels like a dream. It's hard to believe that 6 months ago, I packed up all my belongings in my car & set off for an entirely new life, totally alone, basically broke. While I know that everything I do down here is indeed real, it's crazy for me to think that no one from back home knows what the hell I'm talking about. I can call someone and tell them that I'm walking down the street, but they can't imagine it, they have no idea where I am. Maybe that's just me.. but I find comfort in being able to visualize certain things, like where my friends and family are going.

That being said, I am beyond excited to finally share the world that I've told people about down here with my soul sister! The intersection of my two worlds is going to be really cool, then I get to head back to my world in Ohio, where my life in Florida will again feel like a dream. When I went home in October, it was so hard for me to believe that all my belongings were sitting in a house in Florida.

In other news; It's my favorite time of year; I love love love Christmas. While Southern Florida really tries to encompass the joy of the season... I can't wait for my white Christmas. My family. My friends. Snow. Pine trees. Irish coffee. Egg nog. Fires. Brisk air... I miss the seasons. I need to prepare myself for the weather, my blood has thinned out down here, and the cold is gonna be frigid. In honor of my trip home a week from today, here is a song by two beautiful men... singing the tale of my life! :)

Have a great weekend all.
All my love :)
