February 17, 2014 | Welcome to Denver

I'm in Denver now. It's strange to me how people here actually stop and wait for the walk sign to cross the street. I think that's when it first struck me I was in a new place with a different pace of life. It's incredible. It's just taking a lot of getting used to.

Everything has felt so rushed and tired for so long. The change in day to day life right now seems a bit extreme. Combine that with a new city, a new time zone and a new altitude and things should surely be an adventure.

Wise advice from a friend:
"There's no rush. 
Settle in. 
Get comfortable. 
Just understand YOU and the rest will follow." 

I think this move is life's way of reminding me to take a step back and look at what I want. What makes me happy? Do I ever take the time to look? I can't remember a time when I wasn't following my heart and this time it's sending me on an adventure in Colorado...and hopefully California soon. 

Maybe I do it differently than some. But I feel like when my heart and my mind aren't getting what they need, I'm drawn to finding an adventure. Why do I always need an adventure? I know that's not a bad thing, so why does it feel like it is? 

I just want to explore, meet people, help people. That's what fills me up inside and makes me feel home in my heart. Ironically enough, during those times I usually don't have a permanent "home" or apartment of my own. 

Maybe I should be a bit more happy about finding home in my heart.
