The Impossible

I made it. I did it. I'm home.

Thursday night about 10:30 I hit the Florida Turnpike. I knew I was less than an hour away at that point. I had been driving since 2:40 that afternoon, just me, my cat, and bunch of road tunes. Oh yeah, I did have about 10 phone calls on the way down. I guess that's what happens when you post on Facebook for your friends to call you since you'll be driving for 8 hours. lol. It definitely worked. Anywho, as i was driving down the Turnpike, it became very clear to me that i had made it home. 

Fireworks began to cover one part of the sky. I giggled. i knew i was home. Suddenly this song came on the radio that i honestly hadn't heard in years, practically since i had first moved down in 2002, when the song came out. Flabbergasted, i realized "I did it! I'm home." I kept repeating the words because they didn't seem real. But the fireworks continued and the song honestly kept playing. I probably should've pulled over because i was crying so hard. Never i my life had i cried happy tears. it was all so surreal. I was home. I AM home.

Now i realize that hardest part of getting myself back down here was the move itself. I had to get up enough strength to do it. Like a bandaid over a deep wound, i just had to pull it off. i had to let the past be the past and push forward on my own.

Now i'm here and i'm not backing down. i just gave up my really good job, my comfortable home, left my family, and leapt. i did it. i made it. I am home.

Unsinkable ships, sink
Unbreakable walls, break
Sometimes the things you think would never happen
Happens just like that
Unbendable steel, bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible
