The Winds of Change.

The winds of change are coming around, I can feel it. I can sense it, just as you can sense a storm is coming; the eerie stillness, the look of the sky, and the warm sticky feel of the air. All these things have been happening, and now, the wind is coming. The at first calm, and almost unnoticeable breeze, that slowly circles its way around you, and then, before you even know what's happening, becomes the chilling wind that howls and whirls, announcing that the storm has begun! The storm has begun, and there's nothing you can do but quickly take shelter! And you know, that once the storm has passed, things will never be the same...

I can tell, that this chapter of my life, of me living in Ohio, is about to close (for now at least, I'm sure I'll be back sometime, but if and when that happens, it will be a brand new chapter!). I've known for some time that this was coming, much like when you know that the winds are about to start. And now, the wind has started!
I've been wanting to leave Ohio for a while now. When I moved back from China 3 years ago, I ADORED Ohio! I was so happy to be back; I got to be with my family, and I had SUCH an amazing time! The first year of being back, I was in bliss, and ever since then, life has slowly got too comfortable, too predictable, and too boring. Now don't get me wrong, I still love Ohio, and I still manage to have fun, but this is the longest I've been in one place since I graduated high school eight years ago! A couple months ago, I just knew that something had to change. Now, ever since getting back from the cruise (about a month ago), that feeling has manifested itself more than ever before! In this last month, so many things have been telling me that it is time:
One of the things I have slowly realized, is that Ohio people (for the most part) are not kind. They are not the kind of people I need to surround myself with; to help me grow, help me become a better person, and share in my journey with! I have been realizing how toxic and poisonous an environment most of the people are around here! In the different countries and states I have been to, total strangers have treated me with more kindness and respect than some people I know around here!
Me and the boyfriend have been thinking for a couple months, that we want to move to California the beginning of 2014. We both feel that we are meant for something more, and that we need to get out of Ohio (he's wanted to leave Ohio his whole life and has never got to)! For me, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger with each passing day. 
I'm not meant for the cold, chilling winter days of Ohio, the cold shoulders of angry, bitter Ohioans, and the ugly barren Ohio winter landscape. I was meant for more. My body longs for more. And that's what I am going to get.

For now, I am just going to keep meditating, listening to my instincts, and listen to what my being is telling me.
I am very excited to see where the winds of change take me...
*Thank you so much for reading, especially when I write such personal stuff like this. Thank you for being there for me and rooting me on, and remember that I am here for you, rooting you on in your journey! Please like this and share, thank you so much darlings!*   
 
Peace Love and Change

Gahhh I know that feeling all too well .. i feel like there is a ton of negativity growing here in ohio and i cant quite put my finger on it. Loved reading this, makes my urge to go back to europe even stronger than it has been! :) My cousin grace is moving to washington DC for photography schooling this coming august. And im transfering schools to a university down in the boarder of kentucky. (Still in ohio :/ ) & im questioning if ive made the right choice. i know for a fact there has been a huge shift in vibrational frequencies and those who operate at a higher freq. Are truely affected by it, (like you) i prob sound crazy :P .. regardless i can see that you are meant for more jess just the great energy and light you give off could be put to better use elsewhere. Best wishes if you do end up moving soon. Youre meant for great things. XO ♥

Hey Tia! Thank you so much dear!
Nope, you don't sound crazy, I definitely agree!
Well, let me know what you're gonna do about school (just keep listening to and trusting your instincts). That's awesome grace is gonna do that! She definitely needed to do something with photography.
Thank you tia, that meant so much to me! It's just one of those things you need to hear every once in a while, and it helps a lot (:

    I'm Jessica!

    I've traveled all over the world, but Ohio is where I call home. I'm a lifestyle & travel blogger, and author. I love setting goals, reading, and snuggling up with my fur babies. I can usually be found at my local thrift store, or in the hammock in my backyard.
