Someday I'll be living in big ole city...

...and all you're ever gonna be is mean.

After graduating college in May of 2010 I was certain of two things...I couldn't move back to my hometown in New Hampshire and I wanted to be a teacher. I wasn't going to move home and face all of the people who tried to ruin my life in high school. Among other awful things, they told me I was never going to do anything with my life. I had been talking about moving to Nashville for as long as I can remember...and I would have been a failure if I didn't do it. I needed to prove to everyone that I was going to do something with my life. It wasn't easy planning a move as big as this. But after much time and effort (all worth it) I found a job in a preschool and an apartment. On August 18, 2010 I packed my car and moved 22 hours away.

I have now been living in Nashville for just over a year. And looking back I realize that I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I'm my biggest critic and I needed to live here for me. I needed to prove to myself that I could do it. And I have. It's been a beautiful ride finding myself and I wouldn't trade a second of it. I want my blog to be about strength, hope, and following my dreams. Its life and love and Nashville, Tennessee.
