Sentimental Heart

It’s easy to assume the world changes as quickly as your own life does but in truth, your old world is as consistent as the day you left it behind. Picking up where you left off comes as easily as riding a bicycle and soon you will confuse what you’ve grown to love and know, and what you once were accustomed to. Your friends’ old habits are the same as they were last summer and saying goodbye never ceases to break your heart. A few Sunday’s ago I was asked a question, “If you could change one thing in your life what would it be?” And my mind immediately suggested moving to Columbus. But as I mulled over this difficult question, I began to realize that Columbus is a world I now consider my home. I enjoy living in the city and the adventures that have arisen from the big move almost exactly one year ago. I would not change moving to Columbus, it was a growing experience for me and I know that it was an obstacle in my life that has challenged and stretched me in many different directions. The question itself was one that I could not answer, every good and bad thing in my life has happened for a reason and to change an event would alter who I am today. As much as I miss driving down the road and seeing my entire graduating class at Kroger or hanging out at the good ole’ Arctic Café with my friends, I’m at peace with my life situation and am ready for the next challenge life prepares to throw at me.
