Today I don't want to move. I've changed my mind. I don't want to be so far away....I don't want to have to video conferences, I don't want to have to use phone calls. I want to be able to hug and hold and scratch backs and sit with friends in the same room and cuddle up to movies with everyone smashed on the same couch. I want someone to be there in five minutes- saying goodnight in a driveway or front yard instead of a sweaty phone and aching neck.
Today I choke back tears and remind myself to breathe. I struggle to swallow; to blink away tears before anyone sees them. This is part of the journey. This is exciting. This will help me grow; take me to people and places I've never seen; to my new friends and favorite coffee shops. Then it'll be time to move back and I won't want to leave those friends and those places.
Life.

amen to dr. and mrs. thomas! snap out of it, girlfriend and look out wisconsin! just talk in the fargo voice and you'll fit right in!
its okay to be sad sometimes too... very important & normal part of life! cry, move on, then cry and then move on!
I agree Heather. I don't want to leave either. I think it's good to cry, feel sorrow and think about the joyous things that make you sad to leave behind in the first place. There is some sort of quote out there, (I don't know it exactly) but it is along the lines of: "The harder you cry, the more love that has grown... the harder you hurt, the more joy they have brought you." It sucks, I agree, but life as it is... so true. I pray you find comfort in these next few weeks, and I'll be joining you in those tears... cheers to that, my dear.
