I'm bowing out...as graceful as possible.

So I've had a post in my to speak about my trip to Norfolk, Va. I had to hold off on it, because thre were many other issues that happened while I was gone.

Do not get me wrong, I had some of the best fun in my life going out to Norfolk. Met some new great faces, with great personalities behind them. It furthers my belief that leaving Detroit the first chance I get, once everything is tied up. Would be one of the best decisions of my life.

It really seems like a dream, but how do you go about chasing a dream that you felt you'd never achieve? How do you feel about losing a lot of things, while reaching for something new in life? When do you decide to walk away from it all? Hell, do you walk away by choice? Or by force? I mean, what if people around you turn their backs on you? What do you do when you make the choice not to voice your opinion? Will they believe anything you have to say? Will they listen to you now? When they barely listened to you before?

At this point, I could possibly sit here and write such a blog as far as why I'm bowing out. For lack there of inspiration, I'll just say its too much to shoulder. I've taken a few big losses while out in va, also taken a win or two. Not as meaningful when you were in the prime of something you felt could keep you in your own home state, but something utterly compelling that makes you, are a harsh decision to leave. I've finally felt in my gut there is nothing left in my own city to keep me here on a journey to greatness, once you've seen people leave you. Lose faith in you, or exile you without reason or care. That lets you know, it's not what it was painted out to be. I've taken me leaving as something that needed to happen to push others, and not throw malicious jabs at them. Just leave cold turkey for options,.. Which was wrong. Yes. But needed? Very much so. Hopefully before I committed to my decision, I'll be able to leave one last blog. A open letter to those so they'll know why I left. And chose not to continue on with them.
