I have many miles behind me and maybe not so many ahead.
- Clint Black

I heard this quote today while I was packing for my move and it got me to thinking. In the past 5 years, the time that has passed since I graduated from highschool and became an "adult," I have moved 9 times. This upcoming move brings me to an average of 2 a year. That's a whole lot of miles, a whole lot packing, a whole lot of goodbyes.

I hate saying goodbye. It always seems so final at the time. Most of the goodbyes that I said in highschool were final, but the friendships are still unfinished. I haven't seen Jen in 5 years, but I know what's going on in her life. I chat with her from time to time online, we exchange emails if something big happens, we both read the magazine that our highschool puts out for alumnæ. But it's not the same as sitting down over a cup of coffee and talking. I know how she's doing, but I want to see her while she tell me these things. Same with you, Jenn, Erin, Heather, Matt, Sarah, Moishe, Nicole, Amanda.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I'm just in one of those funky moods. Ignore me...
