GREAT NEWS: My Wife and I are about to sign on the dotted line to have someone rent our beautiful condo in CT which will now free us up to finally get to TX very soon once we tie up loose ends here. Im filled with emotion I cant explain. Years ago Why Georgia by John Mayer, used to motivate me as I left every thing I knew in Texas to move to California....yes....I know hes singing about Georgia...but for my story...its Texas. So as I would listen to this song, even to this day, as I traveled and traversed the country trying to be Superman, I always only ever had hope and dreams and wondered if I was living my life right. Completely away from family and friends and college buddies, missing out on milestones, birthdays, anniversarys, funerals, tiny moments in life as I sort of lived life as a loner. A workaholic loner. I finally started making tons of new friends in the fitness equipment industry across the country and met new faces in different places but I always had a void in my heart and soul. I have never shared this with anyone because it was always easier for me to just thicken my skin to avoid the pain of what I might be missing back home in TX. I always held my head high (still do to this day and always will), my confidence grew daily and I even fooled myself that if I did not look back that everything would be ok. 100s upon 100s of hotel rooms from travel, what seems like thousands of plane fights across the country, countless apartment rentals and moves and my yes Ill do it attitude always landing me in a different place or part of the country. Adrenaline ruled my life....eventually the fun and high runs out...trust me, I know. At the 2:49 minute marker of this song my lifes identity would always smack me in the face and make me swallow hard: So what, so Ive got a smile on But its hiding the quiet superstitions in my head Dont believe me When I say Ive got it down Everybody is just a stranger but Thats the danger in going my own way I guess its the price I have to pay Still everything happens for a reason Is no reason not to ask myself If I am living it right Am I living it right? Am I living it right? Why Georgia, why? Sure I looked liked I had it all together, but deep down inside I was running and constantly searching for something and everywhere I turned was a stranger and I paid a price in many ways. My decision, so no regrets. I am proud of the journey...just shake my head now and sometimes I say, what was I thinking? So as one chapter in my life is almost coming to an end in CT, all the running, all the chasing is finally leading me back to where this journey all started. However, this time its different. This time Im not asking my self if Im living my life right...Im heading back home to TX to Finally Live My Life Right....and Im bringing my Why with me (My Wife). Every journey comes full circle. Im proud of what it has made me. Mostly, Im proud of what it has taught me and Im thankful and I look forward to a new life in a new place where I will be surrounded by familiar faces and places that almost got away from me....everything happens for a reason... this one is very special for me. Thank you for letting me share a little more about myself and my journey. Nervous excitement is setting in as I type this. Still so much to do before we start heading south. Just felt compelled to get this off my chest cause its kinda like therapy for me. Revealing a little about my journey is therapeutic in ways.... and sometimes I write down my thoughts better than I can explain them verbally. I hope my message resonates with someone out there whos still chasing that elusive dream. Keep chasing it, dont stop, just make sure you never forget where you came from cause sometimes that may be the only place you thought youd never go back to that you will finally find peace with.... never say never.
