oh! the places you'll go

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the [person] who’ll decide where to go.

-Dr. Seuss Oh! The Places You'll Go
I am the person who decides where to go now. Scary.

Until recently my life's decisions were dictated by my schooling. Each year was completed just to get to the next grade, the next step in education. Twelve years in Southern California. Four years in Northern California. Now each move is at my discretion. Next June I could leave New York and find a new city to call my temporary home. Or, I could stay where I am for another year.

I know where I need to be right now, but I don't know where I'm headed next...and that's oh k.
