There was something about this woman gazing into the horizon. She was eye level looking head on at her next adventure.
I've kept it around to remind me that sometimes the trips we take require us never to leave...
October 2011, I found myself traveling in South East Asia.
A year later I found myself in NYC with NO travel plans.
Yet...
I was about to embark on a journey that would take me further than any airplane could!
The apt I had moved into 10 years earlier had many past adventures within! Roommate, Getting my dogie Harry, Exes, Ex moving in, Moving out & Moving in then Moving out, Finding my independence, Bed bugs...
It was time.
Time to give my beloved apt back to the city that gave it to me.
Having a rent stabilized apt for the past 10 years gave me the ability to be aggressive in my creative pursuits. Bc I always knew I would be safe with my home :) They could never raise my rent more than legally allowed. This kind of gift was greatly welcomed. But, it was time to give it back. Bc I had outgrown it. It was time to let it go, move out & on to the next.
"A NEW Adventure!!!"
Sounds exciting and simple enough....But no EZ fete.
Even as I gave back my keys to my super I was holding on to em like maybe I should keep it!
;)
Had I kept it I could've made at least $5,000 a year illegally subletting. Which would have been a favor to a friend of a friend. Yadda yadda...
But I believe karmically it would have cost me BIG.
The right thing to do was to give it back.
So I did the Riight thing.
Ugh ;)
Today, sometimes we don't have to leave our seat in order to go on an adventure! What was the last trip you went on?!? Falling in Love? Falling out of Love? Moving? Getting a new job? Losing a job? Makn Friends old or new?!
Sometimes we don't have travel far to find the adventure right under our nose.
