Somehow in the midst of returning to America and settling back into normal life, I slipped away from the blogosphere because it seemed nothing really important was happening in my life. It wasn't as hard as I had imagined to adjust to life in America again. It was all too easy to become glued to my phone, addicted to shopping with coupons and drive everywhere.
Somewhere in the past three months, summer slipped away from me. In the midst of its passing though I found a job, met and reconnected with old friends, rediscovered all the things i missed about Ocala, found and lost a boy, but mostly I lost myself somewhere in the process.
My friend Lindsay is spending her year between college and grad school living as a nomad. She's traveling all over the US working on farms, visiting her family along the way and how she describes it is "coming alive." There's a quote she used to accompany her cute little map that details where she is at what time and it goes like this:
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
So, I'm searching, or I'm rediscovering what makes me come alive right now. I'm going to work on my New Years Resolutions. I'm going to be come happy living in Ocala. And I'm going to alive.
Saturday
