Knowing that I'm moving out of Miami has me feeling as if my life is about to start.

The past 23 years have been in preparation for living and Miami has been the waiting room.

I have learned and experienced but I haven't fully lived. I've been on auto mode collecting knowledge and skills and soon they will be applied.

It can best be compared to a coma. I have been aware of my surroundings but haven't participated. My eyes are twitching open now. Here I come.
