I can say for certain that I am leaving San Francisco. It cost me $914.95 to do so. I made this decision to leave because my job was boring and I was feeling trapped in a cycle that was keeping me from finding anything new. I can point to three things this city has that I will truly miss: great soccer, great people.....ok, two things. That treacherous rule of three almost made me spit out something slightly less than true. This is a big step for me, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. My desire to leave the country and experience something different stems from my belief that I have never truly challenged myself.
This is not to say that I have a weak set of experiences. Quite the contrary, I believe I have a great foundation and could be very comfortable the rest of my life where I stand today. But, I also believe I can be more. Its only fair, to myself and those around me, for me, to become me. Only when you are truly happy with yourself can you begin to spread that happiness to others. I'm not trying to be so bold as to say my goal is to make everyone happy. I just would like to be a positive force in the lives of everyone who chooses to befriend me. This is a chance to improve my me.
So, I am leaving San Francisco to follow a path with a vague destination. But I will return, and when I see those that I love again, I hope things will be similar then better.
