As the old saying goes, “All good things come to those who wait.“

I have always been a firm believer in due time, letting things happen as they may, and only trying to control what is within your reach. I’ve also always been a planner, a worrier, and a bit of a control freak (in the best way, of course). Until one day, I finally made the leap.

On March 3rd, 2014, I took the biggest leap I’ve taken in my life. I moved to New York without a job and with only a 5 week sublet. This was it. This was do-or-die.

In that time, I made the strides I have always dreamed of. I’ve secured a job that pertains to my degree, and one that is fulfilling and enjoyable at that. I’ve moved on to the next sublet (lease to follow!), and I’m starting to settle into the city and get in my routine. It’s starting to be home. But most importantly, I’m starting to take the time to enjoy the smaller, finer things in life.

All good things come to those who wait, and these good things can include the basic wants and necessities such as where to live and where to work. These good things can also include taking the long way home on the first Spring day, stopping to appreciate the sunset, or aimlessly exploring your new home with some new friends.

All good things come to those who wait, and in due time you will find everything has fallen into its place. While all the pieces haven’t quite connected yet, it’s nice to be able to take a moment and appreciate all of the good that has followed all of the waiting. It’s not only satisfying, but extremely rewarding to know in due time…

All good things, friends.

All good things.
