| Tomorrow I move. I start college Monday. I'll be gone for 16 months all together. It's going to be a big change. A good start. A new beginning. Something I've been needing, wanting. . I'm excited, nervous, anxious, scared, worried, happy, sad. Everything. It's a big jumble of mixed emotions. I'm going to miss my parents, my dog and my boyfriend like mad. Knowing that it's something I love to do, and am excited about starting, makes it a little bit easier. Being gone for 16 months isn't what really scares me. It's the amount of changes that will be occuring during that time that does. Wondering if everything will work out as I hope, or if everything will change, but not in the ways I want.
I hope it brings us closer, even though we'll be distanced. I hope it gives myself and others a new appreciation for each other. Things have been taken for granted lately. I think that's due to seeing each other everyday, anytime whenever we want. That's going to be the hard part. Not being able to talk everyday, let alone see eachother everyday.
I have major separation issues, so this doesn't help at all. Especially with my fear of losing those close to me. I can't help but think that my last chance will be taken away from me.
I've had it happen before, I've seen it happen. And it's the worst feeling in the world. Wishing you put more effort into seeing those people, and never having the chance to make up for it.
I guess with these changes, I can't help but think the worst of certain things. I guess I'm a pretty pessimistic person, when I should be being more optimistic. This is a good opportunity. I am doing something I enjoy, I'll finally have a career path to follow. I'll be able to travel and accomplish things easier once I'm out of school. I'll get to do what I want and enjoy doing, rather than working for money and hating every second of it.
Life always has huge changes, good or bad. We have to accept them and take them as they come. They make us who we are, whether we like the way they turn out or not.
We just have to take it Day By Day.
