I have resources. I’m determined to find some fantastic new roommates and a new spot in Boulder that I’ve also wanted to live in. I’m calling it my new chapter in Boulder. Try for renewal, moving on from a relationship lost and onto a new place. I couldn’t have foreseen the last few months happening when I first moved here. Who can? I still know there are upsides, there always are. [...] [...] A home is our nest and to me, it’s my safe haven so I’m going to recreate it only this time I know where to live. I have resources.

This is a great way to think about things however, I think it's important to remember that we can't always be comparing, either. I usually say things could always be worse (it helps me) but maybe to me, my socialized life, my country, it IS really bad for me. Does that make sense? I'm late on this (vacation, yada yada yada).

What you're doing is challenging, but you're 23 years old and you can do it, so why the hell not? You realize that life is precious and you're making the most of it. For that, I applaud you.

I have to keep reminding myself of that all the time. The reason behind this move - the reason I quit my job, packed my bags, and have a one way path planned out for me to start my life half-way across the country is because I understand life is short and see every single moment not being LIVED as a moment wasted. I want to savor every minute - so here I go, taking a leap of faith and doing everything I can to enjoy the wild and crazy ride. Great post Sam. Life is short – there's no doubt about it.

We're all so busy trying to fit everything in to our days that we don't stop and look around. We get frustrated when we can't achieve our goals, but we don't realize that getting that far is a lot more than many people can say. I talk so much about appreciating others, and that's important, but it's also important to appreciate our lives and all that we have.
