Hey there. I'm leaving tomorrow to move to a new city where I don't know anyone. I've only responded to one page of my journal because I'm saving myself something to do when I arrive.

I hope I didn't offend you.

This is one of the few "down times" that I've had in my life where I haven't written a prolific amount. Over the course of the past year, I believe that I have gotten so very accostumed to aural/verbal communication with Capital that writing isn't as natural at this time.

I have also been very nervous, which hinders my creative abilities. I start a new job on Monday, in a new state, and I am struggling with that idea.

Your advice, though, let me tell you, sounded so wonderful. It reminds me of the difference I've articulated between hearing and listening to music. I almost always listen to music - pick it apart, dissect it, analyze its every word. Others, I notice, hear music. They let is wash over them in an aura of calm. I suppose my tendencies are poetic rather than musical. Maybe I need to take this time to hear the world, instead of trying so hard to listen.
