Harshaw

I just found out one of my roommates is moving in a month, this actually makes 2 that will be moving in a month. The only way we have been able to live in this house is because of the number of people living here (currently 5). A few months ago, another roommate moved out to move in with his girlfriend... they are now shopping for a ring. This house has been a second family to me. I have known and lived with most of these guys for 4-5 years. Now we are all going our seperate ways.
Three months ago, the person I figured I would be with forever picked up her roots and moved away. She did it quick, one moment she was there like she always was... the next moment she was gone, my only access to her through email.

Its such and odd feeling, I didn't really get the feeling of "moving on" after I finished high school or college. Now everything is different. I'm not really sad... I was sad when Steph moved to California, but I got over it. I will be sad not living with my friends anymore. But mostly I feel VERY excited! The world feels very open to me right now. I can pick up and leave in a month if I want. Coast Guard, grad school, getting a job in Alaska, anything I want to do.

It makes me happy that I can still attain this sense of new beginnings after I have had so many new beginnings. But damn.. I'm pretty scared right now as well.


Thanks for listening.
