Thoughts on Moving Friday... :)

I’m the type of girl who is “big talk” about picking up and moving to new places. I love adventure, trying new things, meeting people, and living life the way it’s supposed to be lived. But when it comes to actually doing it (which is literally in a few days) I am very much freaking out. LOL. I think if I would’ve just picked up and moved right out of high school, I wouldn’t have been scared for a second. But the anticipation has built up, I have a higher expectation for myself to be successful, and I’m just so used to being home now that this feels like a really big step in my life.

Want to know all that is really running thru my head right now?! Here we go…

I'M:

• EXCITED! Ugh literally I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a little girl. Dreaming of becoming a professional dancer (and now dreams of being an actress in the picture as well). I also can’t wait to live on my own, be independent and do things that I want to do FOR MYSELF. What I’ve really struggled with in these past two years is the fact that I was hardly doing the things I dreamed of doing. I was stuck in this waiting period. It’s all changing now. I’m now moving for ME, living out MY dream, doing the things that I want to be doing. It feels so amazing and exciting.

• OVERWHELMED AF. I think I’m very anxious right now because I am staying in an Airbnb the first month and don’t have an actual apartment or lease signed yet. If I already knew where I was living and had everything figured out, I don’t think I’d be as worried. Once that’s all settled, I know it will feel like a big weight is lifted off my shoulders. But not knowing the Atlanta area real well, it felt like I should wait and get there and get a sense of where I want to be. That seems like a great plan, until it hits me that I am moving and have ZERO clue where I will really be going yet. I also haven’t even STARTED packing yet so I need to get on that. If you know me - you know I am the complete OPPOSITE of a procrastinator. I like to have everything done as soon as I can. Need to get moving on this. I’m going to start packing tonight lol.

• (Believe it or not) SAD. It’s actually breaking my heart to leave Ohio. Growing up here has obviously had a huge impact in shaping who I am as a person. My family, my friends, school, birthdays, dance, and everything is here. To add to it, my family has also had so much extra time together since Covid. Having everyone in the house again was something I didn’t know I needed. It’s just sad because we will probably never have time like this together again. :( Like I said, I’m always “big talk” about leaving Ohio and saying how much I want to get out, but now that I’m leaving it is really sad. I know I’ll be so happy in Atlanta but it’s just very heartbreaking to be leaving. (Although I’ll be back to visit every month most likely HAHA.)

• ANXIOUS (but in a good way!!) New city, new people, new roommates, new experiences, ADULTING, and all the things. It’s truly wild. I will get to train with some of the best choreographers and dancers, take new acting classes, and figure out living on my own for the first time in a new city. It’s so exciting and surreal that I am lucky enough to be able to do this and live out my dream, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that all the “unknowns” are making me a little anxious as well.

Despite all the crazy mixed emotions, I am excited to take this next step and can’t wait to bring you all along with me on this crazy journey. You can follow me on TikTok at @chloemihacevich where I’ll be posting updates on my day-to-day life. I will also post as much as I can on Instagram (@chloemihacevich) throughout the week. I can’t give you Emily in Paris but this is just the beginning for #ChloeinAtlanta . The series begins……. :)
