After a long hiatus away from Southern California, I’m back! I thought I had grown out of California after the big COVID mandate drove me away from her, disgusted at how the mandated policies left me without a place of business. They say if you can’t work where you live, then you have to find a new place to live.
I moved to live with my good friends in Mesa, Arizona. I’m grateful that they were able to help me assimilate into my new environment. I’m sure they had their reasons why they wanted me to as a roommate, because I thought I knew my friends well. Let’s just say, when you live with people, you get to know them more than just well. I wish I had the gall to transition into my own home in Arizona before coming back to California, but I didn’t.
The reasons why I came back was because my parents were getting old and I wanted to be around them and my siblings. Kinship and just being around family gives more purpose to life, that’s what I’ve came to find out, even though I’m very much content and set on being a lone, or not care to much to build a family or find a companionship in life.
In settling my place back in California, I’m not coming back to where I left off before. When I came back, I realized I had come to start a new chapter in my life. I’m ready and very excited about what’s to come…I feel rejuvenated with excitement. I feel young and alive. I’ve learned so much about myself over the past 4 years away – what drives me and what comforts me. It seems like there is no aspect of life I can’t enjoy or conquer. I am the master of myself, my emotions, and my surroundings.
I am fearless, yet resolved. Before I bid a farewell for the night, I wanted to say that in Californication there’s the resonance of nostalgia.
Good night!
