As I’m embarking on a new journey of my fourth life, I have come to realize that life is full of lessons. I say that because I keep having recurring dreams about being in school. I attribute it to the fact that God wants me to learn some lessons, or possibly many. One of those lessons is learning from my mistakes in Atlanta. The most important thing is that if I want different results, I have to try different things. This is mainly about meeting new people, embracing new adventures, and staying positive. I’m the type that needs to be connected to people, I’m an extrovert and no man is an island. The average American moves twice a decade. In a 4 years span, I’ve moved to 3 different cities and twice to a new residence in Los Angeles and Atlanta. That’s 5 life changing events.
As they say, life has been life-ing and I’m cool with that because of it wasn’t that means I’d be dead. I expect life to have its ups and downs, but I feel I need to stay prepared and make better choices going forward. My own personal choices led me to Houston and I feel like it started rough, but I can easily recoup if I get connected to my people. I need to create a life that I don’t need escaping from, so that requires being open to new things. That means I look on TikTok, Eventbrite, and Instagram for ideas of what to do in the 4th largest city in the country. And let me say, there’s soooo much to do here! I need a new hobby besides going to the movies and restaurant hopping.
Everyone seems to think I enjoy relocating from place to place. Simply put, I do not. I want to settle down with my kingdom spouse and have healthy babies and sit down somewhere. I like traveling, not picking up and moving for the heck of it. So I have to be intentional about Houston. I lost myself after my situation in Atlanta, and I’m ready to get back to ME! I have to actually leave my apartment, talk to people when I’m out, and go places after 5pm. I go and sit at the bars of different restaurants and go to brunch, but people tend to go out when it gets dark. That’s my problem, I want to be in the bed. But that’s boring and unhelpful in making new friends. If you want something different, you have to do something different. I’m keeping my hopes high and very appreciative of those I’ve already hung out with. Houston, it’s time to see what you’re made of…don’t disappoint!
