it was 4am Sunday morning and we began our drive. my trunk full and a heart released of all troubles but full of dreams, we drove down the I-5 to Los Angeles with my mom/anthony/Mac in the car following me. after much resistance about me moving all the way down here, they decided to support me and help me move; man i couldn't have been happier. it just felt complete for them to come with me and see where i would be staying. i just remember the drive, thinking to myself, I'm really doing this. I'm really leaving my home of the bay area, my family, a comfort zone, a cush job, cheap rent and my home since birth. but i was also leaving complacency, a broken heart and starting anew. i had put my 2 weeks notice in, had 2 yard sales and had going away drinks with my coworkers and my friends in the weeks preceding the move. i'm glad i made the jump, made the decision to write on my own clean slate. write my future. with many thanks to daryl and my mom, i have survived this year in one piece and welcome the year to come. thanks to anthony, omar, and marisa as well for being the great people that i have to surround me with their joy and peace.
love,
claire
