^ That's what an ACD said to me when I was saying goodbye. She said I'm meant for bigger and better things and this is a sign from the universe that I need to get moving already, instead of staying here and hating my life. She also said she couldn't wait to see where I go next. It made me feel really nice.

Thanks for the supportive comments 🙏🏾
