Decisions Made, Action Taken.

Chicago, my future home. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared shitless about moving to a new city where I really have very few connections, but it's time, and this is the right place. I've always loved Chicago. The atmosphere, the people, it's all exactly what I need in a big city! Add into that my sister living out there and it's hard to think of anywhere else I should be living. As of right now I have no clue what I'll be doing out there for work, or where I'll be living, but that'll come with time.

It'll be good to leave behind Albuquerque. I need to be able to live my life fully, and for the past 2 months I haven't felt able to. So many of the people I love in this town are busy with activities I can't partake of, or they've already moved away themselves. Recently I've had a lot of time on my own, which tends to be dangerous, but I'm keeping my eyes on the future! I'm ready for a clean slate, ready to make new friends, ready to see what places outside of New Mexico can offer.

I've made the decision to not do any more theatre in 2012. I think this is a necessary break for several reasons. I'm not going to make a big deal about it like I have in the past, but I started P90X this week. Third time's the charm, right? So if you talk to me in the next 3 months, ask if I've done my workout for the day yet. Keep me motivated! haha. Additionally, I'm taking the time to focus on trying to get a cabaret together. So far it's been slow moving, but I'm finding new songs that fit what I'm going for. Hopefully I'll get it off it's feet before I leave.

As I keep saying, I'm doing alright. I'm not fantastic, and each day carries it's own struggles, but I'm alright. I want to thank the amazing people who have really been there for me over the past 2 months. Joe, Christy, Amanda, Antoinette, Dea and John, you guys have meant so much to me. Even if it seems like you haven't done much, being reminded of my friends who still care about me has been huge. I hope I can one day return the favor when you're in need.

More blogs to come, I will keep on top of this blog thing if it kills me!
