Changes
So I decided to move to Bellingham in September and start school at the Whatcom Community College in January. Quite a big step for me and honestly, I'm not even sure what I'm going to study, I just know that I don't want to be in computer support for the rest of my life.
This decision is not without a moment or two of hesitation. I worry about living in Bellingham. Not that I dislike the place, Bellingham is great... a hip little city, but that's just what it is... a city and I have no idea how to live in one. I've been a country girl all of my life.
What will I do in the city? My home is surrounded by mountains, farmland and forest. My commute to work and back cuts through empty meadows and pastures dotted with cattle and horses. I experience the country everyday and it has a rather healing effect on me. Please tell me, someone, how do you rejuvenate in a city?

Kris is right, visit the country. I love to live in or around the city, then take day trips to beautiful places, soak it in then retreat back home. The city has energy and gets/keeps you going.
I love to go somewhere on the weekends and take pictures and bring back my captured moments. It gives me something to long for while at home in my daily routine. I could go on and on, but you know what I mean. I am the Driftwood Voyager.
I've never lived in the country, though I do fantasize about Rohan quite a bit, but the city has it's own charm. People are spectacularly curious creatures and nothing could be more fun than walking through sububia at twilight, in autumn, looking in open windows. It's like a living art gallery. There are also the homeless people that beg for money. And the black squirl in the park. You'll like it here Jessi.
Yeah Beau, you really are the Driftwood Voyager! ;-)
