Well, here I am in Texas. It is super windy and the car was being pushed about, but I made it. I crossed the border of New Mexico into Texas and said goodbye. Goodbye, best sunsets/sunrises. Goodbye, Taco Cabana. Goodbye, North Guard gate. Goodbye SWACers. Goodbye, Meetup friends. Goodbye, favorite bookstore and yogurt shop. Goodbye,......Past. As I looked at the, "You are now entering Texas" sign, I felt a sense of loss. Now I belong to nothing. I am a single girl in limbo. No home, no job, no place to call mine. I am not forgotten and I am not yet known. This is a new feeling. One of freedom and uncertainty, but a feeling that is long over due.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will be in Oklahoma, if not Arkansas. I wonder what those states have to share with me......
