I'm here, yo!

Well, here I am. Sitting in a bedroom in a house in the East Bay area. Dublin, to be exact. That is, until my lease starts up in Walnut Creek next week.

Saying goodbye to many people I love was emotional. I've always been in the same place. I went to college 20 minutes from home. My Los Angeles apartment (a startling 40 miles from mom and dad's) was my first great adventure. My best friend's always been only a stone's throw away if I needed a hug. I am the consummate big fat baby.

But now that I'm here in this quiet moment, in this new place, I am so excited.
