AFD and NYC, episode two, don't listen to FOMO.

I've been opening the Airbnb app a few times a month since I reserved this little apartment

for myself in New York City.

I think I just keep checking to make sure it is real, to be sure it's still there, still

reserved for me.

The top left corner of the reservation has a countdown to when it begins in five months

in three months, in four days.

That's what it says today, in four days, wow.

In case you missed the first episode of AFD and NYC, it's linked in the show notes below

and is worth the listen because I lay out a lot of the foundation of the series and the

season.

But the summary is, I'm moving to New York City for two months, October and November.

I'll leave Nashville on Friday, and then I'll come back to Nashville after Thanksgiving.

I was able to answer a bunch of your questions on Instagram this week.

You can go look up the AFD and NYC highlight.

So today isn't really about those details.

Today is about leaving home and how loud FOMO can get.

My hope and plan for these essay episodes is to have journal entries of sorts and outlawed

collection of reflections on these two months.

And today all I'm thinking about is what I'm leaving for two months, not necessarily where

I'm going.

What do you do when you don't want to do the thing you want to do?
