Freedomtown IC

...this is the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen in my goddamn life.

Chick at the Welcome Center explained it all three times but I'm still hoping maybe the herb I bought this afternoon was laced with LSD or something.

Christ.

Since Christmas so much has happened. I have been crazy busy and I only just realized that my 21st birthday is next month! Where did the time go since I got here to this place? The farm is booming. I love working there, running it. Life here is pretty good actually.

I am free, really free. This is definitely not Gilead. I finally might have a chance to just be me, once I find out who I truly am.

Damn, I haven't been on the network in an age. How's everyone been? Things are pretty awesome here. I'm seeing things start to fall into place for my family, in ways that are extremely similar to how they were in my timeline. And considering I also get to spend all the time I want with the most beautiful girl in the galaxy, I'd say I don't think I could be happier.

Hey, folks. Guess I should introduce myself. Name's Rick Grimes. Just arrived here last night. Spent the night catching up with my son Carl and his girlfriends, and talkin' to my old friend Rocket. Now I gotta find Dixon and catch up with him, too.

I feel like this should really have me rattled, but... I guess when you've seen the things I've seen, nothing really shocks you anymore.

It's so weird how you can be single most of your life and do just fine, but then after only being with someone a year or so, when you become single again it's like you can't remember how to even function like that anymore.

Sigh. I did not want to be *that girl*. The one who has to be with somwone to be happy.

Yet, here we are. And to make it worse, I can't help but think every guy I meet just doesn't measure up to the one I lost.

I think Max is right: it's time to stop sulking and get on with life.

I miss Noah, and I'll always love him.. but I'd be foolish to waste my life mourning what could have been.

Look out, world: Carly McDonald is ready to live her life again!

....ok, granted, it just means I'll be in the coffee shop more often, and not sulking when I'm at work and home. But it's a start, ok?

Alright, time to hunker down and find someone for myself.

I love my besties I've made here, but they all have someone, and I'm like, the token single gal.

C'mon, boys... charm me.
