Hello, Prestonsburg 🏞️
This long goodbye I always knew I would eventually have to come to terms with, is sadly here. As most of you know, I graduated last month and did not plan to use my degree until years from now, as I will be returning soon for a higher education. The plan was set in stone and I was beginning to work on our new building for Nature Nook, I had huge plans— a complete expansion. Until I was recently offered a job that I truthfully could not decline. 24 years I have been on this planet and I have always known I was meant to do more than just coexist. Despite my successes AND failures I have had with Nature Nook, the past (almost) year has been incomparable. I’ve learned so much about myself and life in general. I know I am just a kid. Mistakes left and right though you have followed/supported me anyways..
The community I have built here over the years, my radiant § resilient customers, you mean so much to me. Most of you supported me when I had 0 family show up. You ARE my family. Many of you have wiped my tears, and literally picked me up from the ground. You have helped me survive! I am beyond appreciative for you and this chapter of my life. It has now come to some sort of a close. The opportunity I have been given is something that feels like a true triumph. I am eternally indebted to my customers for the unconditional love I have received. I will still be doing most Saturdays, as I always will offer to go packs. You will still be able to order! I am not just giving up on you! Though I do feel like it was take some time to adjust— please be gentle with me. If you feel necessary to go anywhere else, you do that!!! I do ask that you just pay attention to who you support. This small town isn’t very friendly behind closed doors when it comes to these drink businesses, it isn’t always fun and games and you only understand if you’re inside of it. Pay attention to who you give your $$$ to. IT IS THAT DEEP!!!
I am unsure of exactly where I am headed as I don’t know the future, however I do know it is going to be extraordinary. No one can ever take this from me! No matter how hard they have tried. Thank you, from the bottom of my little heart.. and to the ones that will be sharing this post in secret with celebration, just know that I am doing something much bigger than you could ever do.
My doors will close this Saturday. Maybe now the constant harassment § belittling will stop. Maybe now there will be peace for my family/friends🤞🏼
