Summary
I never thought that I'd move to Brooklyn. Ever. But, here we are. I've never been more sure of something in my life, but that doesn't mean I'm not scared and experiencing ALL of the feels. In today's episode, I'm talking you through a teary-eyed run I had on Thursday, and sharing where my head's at going into a huge transition.
PROMPT: When was the last time you felt equal parts scared and excited?

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, Emily Abadi here bringing you another installment of 5 Minute Friday, the |
| 0:24.9 | first for season six. I feel like I've been having to do that a lot lately. I feel like I've |
| 0:31.5 | been having to take a lot of deep breaths because I have been living in like a state of overwhelm, |
| 0:38.4 | which is to be expected because I in under a week am moving from the upper east side to Brooklyn. |
| 0:47.7 | I'm changing burrows. It's something I never expected in my life that I would be living in Brooklyn |
| 0:54.8 | and work is also super hectic with last week's special series. There was a lot going on and it just |
| 1:02.6 | has life new challenges for me each and every day. So it's interesting because for the most part, |
| 1:10.6 | I would say in the weeks leading up to now and the weeks leading up to my move, I've been really |
| 1:15.5 | excited. I felt really purposeful with this. I felt very sure of my decision. Last week I went |
| 1:23.2 | to go measure the apartment and it was the first time that I went there that the apartment was |
| 1:28.4 | completely empty when I initially saw the space. There was a couple still living there and so I stood |
| 1:34.0 | in the middle of the apartment and I'm just like looking around me kind of an awe of the fact that |
| 1:40.0 | this is going to be my space and it's going to be my home and it's something that I always dreamed for |
| 1:45.2 | myself but just never really thought was going to happen. I left the apartment and I went for a walk |
| 1:52.9 | around the neighborhood and I stopped and did some work at a cafe for a while and just sitting |
| 1:57.6 | there and looking around me and seeing the people that were walking by, the kinds of people that |
| 2:02.6 | were walking by, I felt truly at home. I felt like there was so much promise about me being in this |
| 2:09.6 | place and spending time in this place in the weeks going forward but I digressed because Thursday |
| 2:16.4 | morning I went on a run and I decided that I wanted to run down Library Way in Central Park |
| 2:24.7 | which is kind of in the middle of Central Park near the Big Fountain. A lot of movies are filmed |
| 2:29.5 | there and I literally get to the top of Library Way and I'm starting to run down it and emotion |
| 2:37.6 | just completely overtook me. I expected to feel some kind of way maybe because I don't run |
