I used the hashtag in the title to demonstrate the irony/humor in this post. It is so common for twenty somethings to be unhappy with where they are, where they grew up, and feeling a need to start somewhere new. I am among this group of people. This isn't necessarily a new feeling, but it is one that really hit hard for me today.
The last several weeks have had a lot of drama and big changes in my life. This includes family, work, friends, and relationships. In a sense, it feels like many aspects of my life are falling apart. Some of it I have no control over and am forced to just watch it happen. In other cases, it is more or less my fault-for trusting and believing in people I do not know, and then being upset when it backfires on me. For whatever reason, it has made me realize how much I need to get out of this town that has been home for most of my life (excluding college).
In some ways, I feel bad for saying this. Colorado Springs is a beautiful place, and there are some parts that are really cool. I am near some people that I am very close to, which I am thankful for. However...it's not enough anymore. Too many of the people I love are no longer here. More importantly, there is a mentality in the majority of the people here that I just can't embrace. It's hard to explain, but it's easy to feel. It is time for a new adventure, to start somewhere new. I will have to make new friends, but it is time for that. I can't just sit and watch life go by. It's time to start creating opportunities for myself-opportunities where my happiness can grow.
