Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones that need to know...
we are headed north.
One foot in and one foot back,
But it don't pay to live like that.
So I cut the ties and jumped the tracks.
For never to return.
Oh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.
Are you aware the shape I'm in?
My hands they shake, my head it spins.
Oh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.
- Avett Brothers (I and love and you)
I'll never forget that feeling...
The rush of finally deciding to do something you've wanted to do for 10 years. The wild emotions of someone brave enough to do it with you, and the fear of having to tell your two biggest fans you're moving 1200 miles away...
The loading of the Uhaul, the tight squeezes goodbye, I will never forget that feeling. The 24 hour drive through many states, watching the sun set and rise again... Oh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in.
*Sorry for going on a hiatus for a few days... I'm ready to go home, but I'll never regret moving here. It's something no one can take away from me :) So, today is dedicated to just the jump, and the fear of falling.
