Tanner's prompt for today is The Unknown.
I've spent a lot of my life going into "the unknown." I left private school for public school. I left the state to go to college. I moved to Florida. I moved to Oklahoma. I used to be okay with the unknown.
That last unknown backfired, and I found myself longing for the "known." I wanted my old friends, my old home, my old life. I am so blessed that I was able to return to it. Living in Wisconsin as an adult is not the same as being a college student here, but there are many familiar aspects.
I don't know that I'll ever venture into that dramatic of an "unknown" again. But I do try the unknown on a fairly regular basis even now. I feel comfortable trying new things and seeking out new experiences when I am surrounded by friendly faces. It may be "the unknown," but I am not going through it alone, and that makes all the difference.
Stay tuned for June 5th: Sadness.
