I do.
It's always been my personality to get bored pretty quickly.
I like adventures and new cities and traveling,
and though I love this little cincinnati area and everything it's given me,
I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic.
Maybe it will be different when and if I have a vehicle and can explore more areas,
but this two block radius has become my UNIVERSE, and quite frankly, it just ain't cuttin it.
When Trevor and I went to Toronto for my birthday,
I was so amazed at how much there was to do just right outside of our hotel!
I completely forgot what it felt like to walk outside and have so many options right at your feet.
I'm not bashing Cincinnati, because to be honest, I know NOTHING about this city.
Yes, I go to school here but I only ever explore campus, so my knowledge is limited.
But I literally have been having these fantasies about what it would be like to be in a vibrant city with opportunities galore and adventures on every corner.
I know that is completely glamour-ized, because I DID live in Chicago last year and definitely learned that just because you live in a great city with tons to do, doesn't mean that you can afford to partake in it.
Cincinnati has housed amazing memories for me so far,
and I appreciate all of the wonderful times I've had and am still having here.
I just sometimes feel a little empty, like something is missing.
Especially since I left CCM. Not because it's CCM that I feel like I'm missing,
but because I don't have as much HERE for me anymore.
I mean, I love my friends that I've made and I wouldn't trade them for the world,
and having Trevor here is amazing, but he's also gone half of the year doing exciting things in new places, and I just tend to feel a little stuck in the mud.
I know there will be plenty of new adventures ahead of me.
And in fact, I'm starting to look into my study abroad options as we speak
(which would be a nice little thing to check off of my 25 before 25 list)
So I know there will be plenty of opportunities for me, I just have to work a little harder to find them.
Anyone else ever feel like this? Am I alone in this little club?
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
'Til next time...

I agree completely. It's hard transitioning from a lifestyle where you could get into a car and travel wherever you'd like especially with people who felt the same way about it. Now, everyone has their commitments - and are less into getting up and getting out. That's why when the possibilities do arise, take them and take the chances. You won't regret it.
