time to move on.

i'm heading to my new life in baltimore tomorrow.

the emotions span the whole gamut:

excited, scared, nervous, ready, overwhelmed, inspired.

i guess, when it comes down to it, i just wish

 i was doing this with andy.

BUT, i stumbled upon this quote recently:

"so many people walk around with a meaningless life. they seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. this is because they're chasing the wrong things. the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

...and when you're scared and taking a big leap of faith 
{to pursue a passion & a purpose},

i don't think there's anywhere to be half-asleep in that space.

if anything, my eyes are wide open,

ready to take it all in.
