Change is coming.

There was a time in my life that I wasn't sure, and didn't care, if I would live to be 30, let alone do something big or have an actual dream. But here I am, freshly 30 and making my dream a reality. Just like I've been planning for a year. 

I have secured a job and an apartment in Chicago. It's happening. With help from up above, I'm actually making this happen for myself. In about 5 weeks I'll be moving into my apartment in Chicago and and starting my job. The excitement is building to fever pitch and I'm ready to hit the road with my stuff today. But I still have a little time to wrap things up here. 

I'll be living in Lincoln Park, right across the street from Lake Michigan, in a great studio apartment. My dream job, working in a men's salon, is in Wicker Park. I'm still looking for a part-time bartending job, but my first month's rent is paid at the new apartment, so I have a little time to make that happen. 

I can't believe this is my life. I never thought I could accomplish something like this.

It's shocking how different I am today.

I love it.
