Lightning Bolt...

When I wrote this blog, I wrote a little thing under the title that said I was on a journey to find something missing. I really wrote it to be an intriguing question that would bring newcomers into the page and see what funny twist on life I could make. It might even keep people waiting and reading for a brilliant bolt of lightning to hit me. Honestly, I thought it was a pretty good advertising campaign.

A friend of mine kept asking me and pressing me for an answer. I didn’t really want to think about it nor admit that something was missing or wrong at all. Living in bliss was good enough for a while. Things got a little bit dull and I became a bit homesick again. After much analysis and some deep talks with some friends I think I came up with one epiphany that I think will serve me in the future in all ventures I attack.

When I was in Arizona I always had my mind on Europe. Now when I am in Europe, I had my mind on things going on in Arizona and what I was missing out on. Recently I saw myself with one foot in and one foot out. It occurred to me, “you’re in Italy stupid”, if I am going to be here I need to fully commit to what I am trying to do. This is my life and it is time that I lived it out while diving head first. It might sound weird that moving to Italy for however long isn’t considered diving head first, but I think you can get the gist. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss home, or care about the people any less that are there, but I guess it was a realization that if I am to live the next chapter of my life, then I should turn the page.

With this new found ideology, things look a bit shinier and taste a bit sweeter.

Moral of the story, just reread it…
