“The Sky Away” by rivetgirl.

Tonight is my last night in Seattle.

By this time tomorrow, I will be in San Francisco.

This is a monumental change. I was born and raised in Seattle. However, recently, I’ve come to realize that while I am ready to move forward with the “adult” phase of my life… Seattle just won’t let me. It’s too hard for me to forge a new path on my own as an adult when everything around me is steeped in 25 years of learned behaviors and experience. I didn’t realize this, though, until I visited San Francisco for the first time last November. When I got there… It felt like home.

Sometime between then and now, I decided I was moving. I don’t know when and I don’t know how, it doesn’t seem real even now.

The process of moving has been frightening, unknown, alien, scary, exhilarating, educational, and so many more things I cannot even put into words. But tomorrow night marks the final paragraph in this chapter of my life, I suppose.

Just a few muddled thoughts before I take the leap of faith into the abyss and not just hope I can fly… believe in the fact that I can fly.

Goodnight, Seattle.
