The last three months in Tennessee were some of the most challenging months I’ve experienced in a long time. There were moments of uncertainty, growth, loneliness, excitement, and a lot of figuring things out along the way.
But as hard as some days were, I’m incredibly grateful for this chapter. Tennessee gave me winding backroads, rolling green hills, unforgettable sunsets, incredible people, opportunities I never expected, and memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone and reminded me that some of the most meaningful experiences happen when you’re willing to take a chance on something new.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Tennessee and everything it taught me.
But after all of that, there’s something special about coming home.
The desert sunsets, the mountains, the familiar faces, the food, the culture, and the feeling of being exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Thank you, Tennessee, for the lessons and the memories.
Arizona, I’m happy to be home. 🌵❤️
