Returning to Denver this Weekend!
For the past seven months, I’ve spent time “regrouping” with family and friends in Michigan. The circumstances are not worth repeating, but I followed my heart (at the time) to return to my past (which is why I initially left Denver). Four months into leaving Denver, the past once again repeated myself, and I found myself facing an all too familiar situation.
Angry and confused, I had no choice but to return home this time — something I said I’d never do when I left more than five years ago (never say never). I spent weeks (and months) dealing with the reality of things; Resentment, pain and anger consumed me like you wouldn’t believe. I hated myself for doing what I felt was the right thing, and I disliked having to return home after I’d done so well on my own for years. It was a wake up call, for sure.
This weekend, I will return to the city I fell in love with almost two years ago (April 27, 2005). It wasn’t even a planned move, as I thought Nashville would be the place I’d live the rest of my life — well, there were other plans. After vacationing for a week in Denver, I wasn’t ready to leave — so I extended my vacation a week at a time, until I decided that I’d just stay. It was the best decision I ever made.
I am looking forward to everything I love about Denver: The Rockies, night life, opportunities, quality of life and more. I’ve got the biggest smile on my face — I haven’t been this happy in months. I’m planning to celebrate my return at one of my favorite hangout spots: Old Chicago. I can’t hardly wait.
