What is a life without excitement and weirdness?

I'm moving across the world in two months. It feels weird. And very exciting.

So, March is over. Don’t know where she went, but she ducked out of here real fast. Usually I don’t pay particular attention to the passing months. I live life, enjoy the sun and read my books.

But this year, it’s different.
It feels different.

Why?

We’re moving in June. To the other side of the world. And now each passing month lessens the amount of months it’ll take for our moving date to arrive.

In December of 2024 it felt more like a thought, while also feeling a bit nerve wrecking. A great opening line at a party: ‘We’re moving to Paraguay, in South America, sometime in the spring of 2025.’ It was still six months away back then.

Then January got here and went out the door before I even knew it. Five months.
Does February get an honourable mention? I feel like I always blink and the twenty-eight days are over.

And now here goes March. I’m so hyper-aware of the days passing me by. Looking over an apartment that still needs to get packed up. Places I want to visit before we go. People I want to see.

It probably sounds as if I’m not excited. Believe me, I am. I am so ready. While at the same time - so not - lol.

Beautiful nature, warm weather (ironic since we’re moving there when it’s fall time and it’ll stil be around 25 degrees Celcius), a happy vibe and kind people. I’m so excited to explore life there. Learn Spanish. Bake sourdough bread. Meet cool people.

But oh my. Saying goodbyes to loved ones here. To the towns I’ve been around all my life. The familiar faces and places.

It’s feeling all weird and exciting at the same time.
Like all life experiences worth having always feel.

My thoughts are all jumbled, feelings too.

And that’s okay.

Moving across towns just twenty minutes away felt exciting and weird.
Moving out of my parents house felt exciting and weird.

Of course moving across the world feels exciting and weird.

It’s all allowed to be there.
Just holding space for all of it.

These are, after all, the moments that make up life.
That make you feel alive.

Because what is a life without excitement and weirdness?
