As time continues to creep forward, I am slowly and quietly saying good-bye to everything. The Familiar roads that I have traveled on- the same roads that I formed a love-hate relationship with. I am going to miss all the memories that I have accumulated over the past 16 years of living in this area.
I notice myself spending more and more time at my parent's house, walking from room to room, reminiscing about days of old. Everything now seems so much smaller but yet looks so much more alive. The rooms no longer seem to want to confine me, instead they want to comfort me and provide me with a safe heaven.
I look about my life and all that has come to pass and I realize how much I don't want it to change, and yet, I am welcoming this new chapter in my life. It has been a very long time since I changed location and I think I am more than ready and willing to embark on this new journey.
Before, I was too young to appreciate change. Now, I set aside all my fears of the unknown and look only to the bright side.
I do not know what the future will hold but I am certain that I will take away only the best.
I have learned a lot in the last 4 months or so and I hope that when the time comes to weather the storm I will not falter but stand firm to my newly formed beliefs and look to the brighter side of things. I know that I will be far away from all that is comfortable, safe and familiar but I hope that I do not disappoint myself if (or when) I am faced with a challenging situation.
I know that I am always welcome back home, but I know that my destiny lies elsewhere.
