new environments, new perspectives

here i am in brooklyn.. go figure. a month ago i had no idea i would be living and working in new york of all places. long story short, i had been job hunting from florida to no avail and finally through a friend i was urged to send in my cv at his job.. a month went by and then he called telling me to get a ticket and fly up for an interview. i flew up and well, i somehow managed to land a freelancing gig.

there has been so much going on, but i can't begin to convey my joy for a new environment and neighboring wavelengths... it's as if all that negativity around me was trying to break in and weigh me down and yet amazing when you make a conscious effort to only focus on the positive how you can rise above unscathed. damn. it's a powerful thing. no matter what highs or lows, an elevated outlook can get you through it all without sacrificing your life to pettiness.

i'm still finding my way here, but it feels good. it's not quite home yet, but maybe in time. it feels comfortable, walking around, feeling inspiration and taking in the energies around. it also helps having friends from here and there back around, reconnecting -- revisiting the past in a sense, but with wiser eyes and more experience. everything seems possible. i don't know, can't quite put my finger on it.

i still have that void inside of me but i know that missing piece is only invisible... it's there just can't see it to feel it. i needed this and though i may not have much money to my name now, i know i am following my heart and soul -- doing what i must. for in this life it's not about what we take with us, but how we lived. we must strive to make positive, lasting impacts. yea, it's gaining momentum, i'm excited about what lies ahead but i am taking the time to live every second of it in preparation.
