Compact Today, Expanding Tomorrow

Today I packed up everything I own into a minivan and tomorrow I am driving it from my childhood home in Ohio to where I’ll begin my career in Connecticut. It’s a strange feeling having everything you own all in one small space like that. In one sense, it is relieving to think how minimal it is – there is a distinct sense of simplicity about it. In another, it is scary to think this is the last time that fact will be true of me. In the coming weeks, I will have to figure creative ways to furnish my new place and my belongings will increase exponentially.

Tomorrow begins a new journey, but tonight I dwell in the comforting sense of simplicity.
