The above video montage was created from some insanity that took place on Saturday night and is, in my estimation, totally awesome.
I’ve had a very, very happy month overall. I’ve loved being back home in Scottsdale. I’m sad about leaving.
I’m heading back to Seattle next week. I’ll leave Arizona around the 2nd and then stop in San Diego to hang with friends for a couple days, then do a leisurely drive up the coast to Seattle. I’m very nervous for my return. When I first came to Scottsdale a month ago, it took me a couple of days to find a rhythm. Those days were rough, scary. But in just a month, I’ve created a full-fledged life for myself here. It doesn’t feel like a vacation, adopted life — it feels like a full, complete life that I really enjoy living. I’m nervous to go back to Seattle, to say the least. But I guess the way too look at this is that I’m incredibly malleable in these situations. I have learned exactly what I need to do to build myself a functional, livable life no matter where I am. I don’t make excuses anymore. I just instinctively know what needs to be done and I can take the necessary action. That’s not who I used to be, trust me. It’s cool to witness that sort of growth. I know I’m going to be fine in Seattle, and there’s a lot I’m looking forward to getting back into out there. And, ya know, if after a couple months I’m still unhappy, I’ll just come the fuck back to Scottsdale and stay another month. I’m grateful to have that kind of flexibility.
