Static

I'm crawling out of my own skin. I'm in need of a new experience, a change in my life that I have not experienced before. I start my job in less than two weeks, but it's not a very big change in my life. I will be working at the same hospital I've centered my life around for the past 19 years and will be surrounded with familiar faces. Not exactly the change I'm looking for. What I truly want to do is to move. Not to Pasadena or Alhambra or anywhere I can access with local public transportation. I want to move to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, SOMEWHERE ELSE! For the past five years everything has pretty much stayed the same. At times it feels like I am not living my life. I'm just going with the motions and doing what I am supposed to do. Aside from the new job opportunity I have, which I am very grateful for, there is nothing here for me in Southern California. I love my friends and family, but everyone is moving on and living their lives whereas my life seems so stagnant.
