I made a quick improv trip this Wednesday for fall break down to Aiken, South Carolina. It reminded me of Cullowhee except less rain and more people. Since moving back from Maine I have found that Raleigh is crazy, and State is hard yet rocking my world. Going down to Aiken was just the escape I needed- a break from papers, hustle and bustle of Raleigh, and it was a chance to see good people. I hung out with my friend Jenna who made my quick trip so fun- we made a road-trip to Columbia to the state fair full of fried oreos and conversations and we both fell for Greenville at Fall for Greenville- whether it was the local food, coffee underground, or the band playing right in the midst of everything. In Greenville I met Jenna's friend Ashley who I came to find to be my kindred spirit. Let me just say one thing, this was the first time I had met Ash and she let me look at her tumbler, which was a big step for us in our friendship. I saw on her page the words [trust your journey], when I asked why those were the words she used she told me that you have to trust whatever God is gonna bring you through, that your journey is that way for a reason. It was the most honest truth I have heard in THREE words.
black coffee, rain storms and spotify have consumed my tuesday morning in Raleigh but I am thankful for trips that bring refreshment to the start of a new week and new opportunities.
move forward
&
trust your journey
