"Know ye not (Have ye forgotten?)
Your place in the earth?"
Well, I've decided to leave this place. No, not here, particularly. Tonight is my last night in Georgia... my halfway home away from home. I call it that, because in the 17 years I've been here, on and off and on again, I've never felt at home... more like just here, waiting for something to pick up, or waiting for something to start. Eventually waiting as the dust settles gets boring, so the only thing I can do is forge a path - no matter how shaky. So I'm doing just that in the pursuit of something newer, yet with at least some home connection and familiarity.
My new home - Florida. It's not without it's charm and not without its' consequence, of course - i'll be staying with my best friend from here, and that has the potential to be a blessing in disguise and a powder keg of a mixed blessing. But I think the best fit would be something that gets me away without totally uprooting life as I love to live it - a fresh start, by all means, but not an abrupt metamorphosis. In short, I like the promises it holds in store for me. So hopefully, some of those things I yearn for become true. I'll have to see what happens come tomorrow... and Tuesday when I've dived in, head first.
"Now, the world is perfect
(and) those left behind still weep..."
