Nashville

Living in Nashville was probably the best thing I ever could have done fresh out of college. I was in no way truly happy with myself at that point, but I knew that I wanted to go to massage therapy school, and I actually got the chance to attend in my favorite city in the U.S. I mean, why not take that opportunity! So I did.
During that year, I met new people, made new friends, joined an incredible church, pursued my passion for massage therapy, and learned a TON about myself. Sure, I got to do some pretty cool things and meet some pretty cool people in Nashville that I wouldn't have gotten the chance to had I gone to school anywhere else, but probably the most exciting adventure for me, personally, was self-discovery. I learned indeoendence within myself, as well as grew in my dependence on the Lord. My patience was tested, and I realized that there are times to say "no." I made life plans, then learned not to depend on those plans. I also realized how much I really do expect out of others. Growing up I always thought I leaned more towards the "laid-back" side of life...but now that might not be the case as much.
I like order and thrive on schedules. I think that's one reason I love my job so much. My clients come at a certain time, and then they are on my table until it is time for their session to be over. Now, not everyone comes in on time, and occasionally I will have to keep a client past their set leaving time, but that's the way it goes.
I'm going back to visit my Nashville home this weekend...and I could not be more ready to be there again! What's gonna be weird is driving past my old apartment knowing it's not mine anymore. Wonderful memories.
