The Mis-Adventures of Aaron in California

Life has a way of being kind and cruel, funny and scary, happy and sad, and exciting and dull all at the same time. It also has a way sometimes, of taking all of your plans, crumpling them up like a ball of tissue paper, and throwing them back into your face. Is it bad? I don't know. It just is.

As many of you now know, I am no longer in California, but and am back in the southern most state of the Lower 48... Florida.

For the sake of the other people involved in this story, I'll spare you the details. But I will let you know, that no one is at fault... it was beyond the control of everyone involved... simply put... it just didn't work out.

I won't lie to you. I'm sad about the whole thing, but like I said... It just is.

California was great while it lasted. I got to experience some things that I wanted to my whole life. I got to catch up with some great friends from college. And I met some fantastic people. I grew a lot as a person, even in the 3 short months that I was there.

My life has been in constant upheaval for the last 12 months. I moved from Michigan to Florida, to California and back to Florida. I have NO CLUE what will happen anymore. My future is a blank canvas. My good friend Mike Ford put it best: "This was your wandering year." He's right. I'm so tired. Not tired of anything in particular... just tired.

There are reasons I'm happy to be back: I have a new nephew or niece on the way, I'm back with my family, I did love living in Florida, and the cost of living here is amazingly lower.

I have some things I want to do. I want to get involved with theatre down here, I want to start writing a book, I want to work on some creative stuff with my brother, and I want to stay put for a while. I definitely want to make this blog something more than it currently is.
