Returning
It's probably not even necessary at this point for me to write a general announcement, but I thought I'd do one as a courtesy for anyone reading who I haven't told yet.
I'll be returning to western PA from Harrisburg at the end of this month. My job out here hasn't worked out, for a variety of reasons, and so I'm moving back home. It's really a stressful time for me because I'm the kind of person that sinks my all into pretty much everything I do, but realizing that things aren't working took some serious reconsideration of my future.
I'm recoiling my energy to place emphasis on other things that are important to me, and in this process I think I've only rediscovered what I'm destined to do with my life: write and teach. Right now the whole situation makes me nervous because I'm so loosely shifting from one to the next--graduation, new town, new job; and then home, new job, wait impatiently till I can go to grad school (but do I have a choice in this? Nope.).
I can't promise how much I'll be blogging in the coming weeks since I'm trying to move (again). But know that I will at least lurk to read and return here, to the blogosphere, once I'm a little more settled. In the meantime any prayers or well-wishes for the ordeal are greatly appreciated since this is turbulence I hadn't anticipated in my life.

Best wishes, Karissa. You will find your place eventually, and you will likely find yourself moving (in terms of career or geography or both) several times after that. But you will find your place.

I can understand what you're going through, Karissa, believe me.
I'm sure you'll get through whatever hardships you're facing just fine, though, and come out doing better than ever.
Hang in there.

Thanks to both of you for the encouragement. I just wish it didn't feel like so much was on the line, really.
