Day 1 of the journey

Today, I finally checked out of my apartment for good. The apartment that has been nothing but bad energy and now getting to leave all that behind, the feeling is unreal. I shouldn’t say it’s been all bad energy because I started my small business Support the Intended there in 2018 and crafted many poems and ideas in that place. I made memories good and bad in there but now it is time to leave that step behind and on to New Beginnings.

I checked out around 10:00 o’clock this morning. Said goodbye to my amazing nameighbor. Stopped by the bank to say goodbye to a dear friend. Recorded a “I’m f****** free and see you never” video while driving away from my apartment and off I went. Got home, mom helped me organize and pack the camper and truck up and we left around 1. It was a beautiful moment of hugs and emotions. (Of course I cried I am an emotional guy and that’s what I do sometimes- I cry). I cried happy tears and sad tears all at once but it felt amazing to get those emotions out for a good 10-15 minutes in the car. I recorded some of that moment I’ll share one day. As I was leaving I asked the universe to bless my journey with health, safety, fun and happiness. I made it to Fergus Falls and had to stop to get a spare tire for the camper (pray I don’t have to use it but better to have it than not have one). Double checked everything. Stopped at Walmart to get some bungee chords and random things for the camper. (Damn cold weather and snow made it very inconvenient to fix the things on the camper I wanted to before I left). Triple checked everything was hooked up well and off I went.

Off to vermillion, I went to stay at my amazing friends house. We’ve known each other since 2nd or 3rd grade I believe. We had over 10 years after my family moved back to Minnesota in a very traumatic move that we then didn’t see each other for a long time. But then, our paths aligned when he reached out to me one day. Ever since, it’s felt like our friendship didn’t miss a beat. I don’t get to see him enough so I am hoping to stay an extra night tomorrow because in the words of my mom, “why not?”.

Exactly. “Why not?” One of my mottos for this journey. Why not do it because this is a journey of a lifetime. Heading to California. Driving across country. Minnesota to Cali. To Redding or wherever the universe takes me. Whatever feels right, do. Follow your heart. Chase your goals. Pursue your dreams. Take that leap of faith. Jump into the scary option. Dive into the unknown. Do what makes you feel uncomfortable. Go for it: And most of all….have fun along the way because life’s about the journey and living in the moment. Goodnight my friends. I love you all and support the intended.
