The Journey Shall Begin Soon

Every NYE I would always come up with a ridiculous resolution. One that a million other people would say and never stick with. Usually something like lose weight or eat less red meat. I would always mean it when I said it but it meant nothing to me so I never stuck with it.

December 31st, 2009 was an entirely different story. What should of been a night of drunken insanity on the Las Vegas strip turned into me and my closest friend sitting in a casino crying our eyes out for hours. This wasn't the first time this had happened either. We had gone through so much and had so many feelings for each other that it was instant chaos as soon as you added a fifth or two of flavored rum.

The same time the year before I was a completely different girl. I was making so much money I couldn't spend it fast enough. I worked 70 - 80 hours a week but still had the time to party my ass off. My days were filled with fast talking and business suits and my nights were filled with bottomless bottles of booze and late nights with friends.

Well, I thought they were friends. In August I quit my job. I was burnt out, I needed a break and the constant sexual harassment would of drove anyone nuts. My thousands and thousands of dollars a month income turned into an unemployment salary. As soon as I couldn't afford to pick up every tab for all my friends they all slowly disappeared. After no time at all there was only one left. He didn't care if I was broke, because so was he. He didn't care that I had a job anymore. All he cared about was that we made each other laugh.

Over time the friendship took on the world's craziest roller coaster ride. We dated, we boned, we just stayed friends. It was never the same from day to day. And NYE was the breaking point.

I decided that I needed to stop the insanity and I needed to take advantage of the fact that I had an income and no job. My friendship to him meant the world but this was an opportunity I could not miss. So I December 31st, 2009 I decided it was time for an adventure.

I am going to be leaving April 1st. Where I am going? Not really to sure. How long am I going to be gone? Have no clue. All I know is that I am packing my bags and hitting the road. I have used the power of Face book to set up some amazing cities to visit.

I shall use this blog to tell me story and write stories of the people whose paths I may cross. Also as a diary of my relationships I will be leaving behind and trying to maintain.

The countdown has started. I just hope I am ready when it is time.
