I moved...now what?

                      So, you moved.

You spent months researching and looking up information. Studying the job and rent market.You felt like a local before you even got there. You finally have your apartment, a job and at least know your way back home from the places you tend to frequent; like the grocery store. You've been on survival mode for so long putting out the little fires that inevitably happen with the unpredictability of ,well, life that you don't even notice the little things. You're just running on auto pilot until one day suddenly, you wake up, light coming in through the window, pouring on to a room you've barely had the chance to make your home.

Yet you stare at the bare walls and smile as they remind you of the blank canvas you've just given yourself in life. For the first time in months you are able to think and not react, to enjoy instead of solve a moment, and that's when you say to yourself "Now what?"

And out of the corner of your mind comes that voice, the one that pushed you to this, that nagged till you left the comfort zone. The one that belongs to that person you've always wanted to try to be, that you've finally given a chance to be and she says more clearly than ever:


                                                             "Now, we color that canvas."
