I had SO MUCH fun at DW. For those who haven't made it, please try if ever you can; you won't understand the full scope of the DRN family until you experience that.
However, traveling so far (the farthest I have EVER been from my home) made me realize that there is a whole lot more to this country than my own little hillbilly corner and I haven't seen very much of it.
I also have an extremely dead end job right now that I hate. I have a college degree that I worked very hard for and I am not using. The job market here sucks.
And as many of you have gathered by my posts, my relationship is not going well. He changed in ways I didn't expect when we moved in together, and we are far less compatible than I thought. Plus, probably the biggest reason, is that I am not ready for domestic bliss! I feel tied down, trapped, stuck. I want to SEE and DO more things first!
Now I know there will be lots of "I-told-you-sos" flying around and I graciously accept them. You all are right. I AM too young. I am WAY too flighty and fickle. And I am NOT ready.
So: I came to a decision. I am ready to pick up and move anywhere, anywhere at all, in the country. There are DRN-ers in every state and it won't be the first time I moved somewhere I didn't know anybody. I can find a job actually doing what I want to do; I have new, better connections in the publishing world and the publisher of the newsweekly I have been writing for assures me that I write very well and am fully qualified to find a good job writing for a newspaper or magazine.
I am so excited! I have wanderlust now and can't wait to start figuring out my next step.
