Callings, Dreams, Signs.

Call it what you will, but when something is on your mind, your heart, and in your face more regularly than it simply being a coincidence, there is something to be said about it.

This is something I have come to realize about North Carolina.

I have always had this fascination with North Carolina. I have never been there, I haven't really seen pictures, I don't have any ties to this place, yet I find myself drawn to it. The books I tend to choose take place in the South, mostly North Carolina. I watch my favorite YouTuber and she is from North Carolina.

I have this overwhelming love for the South that I can't figure out where it spawned from. I love the idea of a small beach town with quaint streets, happy people who know your name, small shops.

There is no reason for me to want to go there besides a calling. From God. Why else would it come up so much? Why else would I be so enraptured with there? I fold letters for my company and find that every time I decide to be observant of the city it's being sent to, I see North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, I see them often.

I am also working on a novel that I have set in Georgia and North Carolina. I have never been either of those places but it feels right.

What do you think this mean?

I am not ready to pack up all my belongings and move there on a whim, however, I am going to continue and be more observant, and see if this is one of those signs that need to be answered.

These pictures depict exactly what I have in my head when I think of North Carolina.

The scenery, the lazy and beautiful afternoons on the porch.

I searched Google Images for North Carolina Scenery.
