The Idea of Leaving....

I have never really considered moving from the south. I am happy here, I know the cadence and the speed. We do not rush, we are not rude.. however if we must we will stomp you out. From Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia (home!), South and North Carolina etc., that is the way it is. This is home . I was recently asked by one of the guys who I am talking to would I be willing to go to Cali for 3 years. Hmmmmm. I. Don't. Know. Just the idea of it is like uuuuuhhhhh. Ummm. Let's get to know each other better. I also let him know that before I do that, there will have to be an engagement ring, a wedding and my family's blessing. Scary thing is bruh said a chipper as heck "OK!" Oh, Crap.

Let me put it to you straight. I am not thrilled however, should I not follow love where it leads me, even if it is in unknown territory? I gotta think about that a bit so I can be honest if it comes up. I love, I like I thrive off of adventure. I also love, like and need my family. The idea of being that far away ... I don't know.

The thing is that this guy can get with my strong personality. Yeah, it is strong. I know it is. I like to have fun and can roll with the best of them........ That is why the attraction is ..... good. I know that this is something I will have to consider, everybody does not want to stay in the ATL. I could do North Carolina, maybe ... Washington DC. I never thought about the West Coast. Hell, I prolly got rid of that notion long time ago. Getting shot at ain't for me. That is funny when I think about it though. I mean, I miss the heck out of N'Orleans. Do you get the irony? Now he did say that this is where he would live, in the ATL and then retire in FL........ He has some awesome goals...... I gotta think on this a lil' bit though and now I REALLY have to get to know him...... He asked me did I think I was his missing rib, all I could say was, "Maybe" To be honest, due to my apprehension, I hope to heck ....... well. I am always down for an adventure and it seems I might have had another one batted my way.... We will see.

Praying about this possible leaving the south thing ya'll. This here is home. Relatives and fam on every side. You know, it is security and knowing somebody has your back regardless of whatever life throws at you. However, I really never have run with a posse. Running with one now would be sacrilege. I can be one confident lady. Let's see what happens this time......
