Step one in transformation to empty nesting: Sell small town
home and move to the BIG CITY.
Realize the truth in BIG CITY life.
1st – Find out that everything takes an hour to get
to even though you live less than 10 miles away... Traffic is Devils way to
bringing out the worst in humans.
2nd – Townhomes/Condos/Apartments bring back the
terrifying memories of college dorm life.
3rd – Not having to adult with home stuff aka mowing,
electric issues, updates also means no lawn to walk barefoot in, no garden
area, & you have no say in what updates you get.
4th – Taxes are better bc you live in the town you
work.
5th – There are a million different places to eat,
drink, and be merry.
6th – There are a million new places to explore.
Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite
your mother raised you to be a nice person!" DONOT lose control
and curse at the fools who obviously failed to attend Drivers Education. DONOT tell off the kid in the hall bouncing the ball for an hour straight. DONOT
go up and threaten the herd of Brontosaurus’ that
moved in next door over their blatant disregard to quiet hours.
Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Stew silently wishing I had magical powers to dissolve the irritating humans.
Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? What made me think living in THE Big City would work for me?? Where was my crystal ball to predict this??
Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when we listen to others, STOP letting other make up your MIND!!!! !@#$%^&
Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote. “Nothing CHANGES if nothing CHANGES.”
Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way, has yet again won the tiara of ruling today's round table discussion. Oakley and I will make this work, make the best of the new life here, if you want to move again – do it. Nothing is permanent in life. However, side note to mention #3 did get some satisfaction on the interstate more than once on the interstate.

This board meetings with all my personalities, made me look at all the pro’s
and cons of small town vs BIG CITY. Still, embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand
you are dealt. I still cry myself to sleep some nights, I still curse the
choices I made in the past. But I now know you need to laugh until you cannot
breathe & enjoy each moment – literally it won't again 😊
Thanks for the read! XOXO
