The reading is fruitful, confrontational, and at a time where it seems to be the most crucial turning point in your life. As someone who has weathered the storm, and is living out the experience 25 years after you, self confrontation probably the most difficult part of the life experience. I wish you the joy of complete and utter self discovery. Janet Im just in here from a link.

I had a couple spur-of-the moment romances. Once, I moved 800 miles to be with the person I met in a chance encounter on New Years' Eve. The other whirlwind romance resulted in 3 months of intense love followed by 3 months of intense life during her brief and heartbreaking terminal illness. Needless to say, I don't regret jumping into either choice. Good luck with everything and enjoy your new life! Wow, your stories so remind me of me in my younger years!

That is awesome! They say strong-willed children are the ones who become world leaders & CEOs. Are you ready for world domination? PS if you don't mind hanging w a Gen Xer (not quite an old geezer), you've got a local girlfriend any day of the week! Wow! That is awesome!

I was in a similar situation about 4 years ago. I moved from a small town in WI to Dallas, TX and didn't know too many people. It was scary at first but I wouldn't let myself give up. Now, I've recently moved but always look back at my experiences making it in a big city. That was my time where I truly found myself and proved that I could overcome life’s challenges. I worked a regular day job but also got a retail job part-time and that's where I met some girls who really made my transition there a lot of fun. Good luck to you. And yes, spend time by yourself. It's funny, when I do think back I recall those alone times I spent shopping or hanging at coffee shops. Hi K-

The stunts are funny now, but I know I drove my parents crazy! It will be interesting to see how the next 6 months (and beyond!) develop ... and am thrilled to have the opportunity to work through this with great girls like you guys by my side. :) @Eran: Life would be boring! Maybe it's harder this way, but it's made me who I am today ... and I like myself. ;) Look forward to sharing adventures in the new city! @V: You are the best lady! I will definitely be sure to take time for myself - I recognize how important that can be. :) PS - Let's leave Ming out of it! @Robin: I've never heard that quote before, but it's awesome! And you're right, it's hard to find people who undestand taking the hard road, much less love. I'm a lucky girl! Thank you so much for your support - especially since it sounds like you know where I'm coming from. @Amanda: We should get together again! :) @Katie: Thank you!

Even though I have been here since 2006 (also followed love to San Antonio) I still don't have really any girlfriends. We should get together sometime! I follow my GPS all over too but her name is Kathy. Love her!! Look forward to reading more! This was a funny post to read!
