Rom-Com Girl in a "Space Oddity" World (Re-post)

A couple of months ago, I posted this. I knew I was going to start a blog and had the itch to write. Oikonomia's my new home for my ideas, but I want to remember that this is just part of a wider journey that is already in process. Some portions of this have been edited in order to be published here.

I rarely listen to David Bowie's "Space Oddity". And if I do, its because I didn't choose to. It makes me sad. For Bowie. For Tom. And for the people who loved them.

You see, I'm a sucker for a happy ending. And for conclusion. For a story that leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy and not much more to think on besides the feelings. But the more I learn about life, the more I realize it's less like a rom-com and more like a "Space Oddity".

I'm not that cool. I'm just trying to figure out what being brave looks like and sometimes that feels less like a definition and more like a question.

I'm not sure what this journey will look like, but today is lift off!
