Forward Motion

Screen shot 2013-02-06 at 12.57.55 AM

Journeys are about making a choice, and holy skate-shop, Batman, I sure as heck never dreamed a message on a Volcom sweatshirt would be the deciding factor for what will be the most gutsy endeavor I’d ever take on. Yet ten years ago, a girl stood in front of me, with script across her cotton back stating “All good things must come to a beginning.”

So when the boy I had the pleasure of sharing tea, podcasts, and long walks around the lake with said he was kaput six months into our datingship, the good thing I had going could have come to one of two things: an ending, or a beginning.

I made the choice of forward motion, reaching for what possibilities may be instead of pondering what had been. In fewer words, I chose to begin. Yes, most people probably would have done something easier, like gone on a tour of an ice cream factory and called it a day. Or heck, even just eaten some ice cream. We all know coffee-cookie ice cream from Fenton’s freezes heartache. But there has to be a better way – with less calories, too.

Funnily enough, going on a physical journey tends to be the key to going on an emotional one. Let’s get the odyssey started.

      Ooo! It’ll be fun to hear what someone new to the story thinks as they go start to finish! I only am able to read it as retrospect, which means fresh eyes are exciting. 🙂
