After some reflection, I realized that I was grappling with unwanted identities and some disappointment with how I’d spent my time in Denver.
- I had always fancied myself a seasoned traveler. My unwanted identify was being someone who missed home and wanted to return after just one year away.
- I have always been very extroverted and loved making friends, and I felt bad that I had not ventured out to create my own community of friends in Denver.
- Moving had cost me a lot of money. Another one of my unwanted identities at play was being someone who was fiscally irresponsible.
After surfacing these thought patterns and leaning into my personal values, it became clear to me that I truly did want to return to California.
