fresh.
Saturday i leave fort myers forever.
my stuff is in the duplex in tampa, my room is set, our living room, kitchen, and bathroom are all done.
and i'm honestly scared shit less.
i took one class at USF this summer and got an A.
i have 40 credits, and by next summer i'll have over 60.
three years and i'll be moving again.
Since may i've lived out of my suitcase.
traveling back and forth all over the place.
nigel and i went to disney, went to all four parks.
magic kingdom is still my favorite, the feeling i get watching the fireworks at night and sitting on the little boat in the "small world" is extraordinary. i could be there forever.
then the same week stefanie and i went on a cruise with my family to the bahama and key west.
snorkeling in both places, feeding fish cheetos, exploring the water, and the cities.
swimming in the most beautiful water my eyes have ever seen, going to th aquarium under the Atlantas.
it was one of the best trips, but we have many more to come.
then graduation. it's weird. i didn't go to high school all year and i didn't feel like i was apart of it,
but now i can really say i'm done. walked the stage with the rest of the fort myers high kids.
and realized how grateful i am for doing edison and getting away from what was coming my way.
saw no doubt, one of the best concerts.
the way they love their audience made it an experience worth remembering,
and from there it was six weeks of driving to tampa and back to fort myers every week.
world perspective was definitely a class i enjoyed. and it was my first one there.
while being home on the weekends developed one a beautiful friendship with kylee.
and since my class has ended i've seen kylee and natasha everyday.
that was my plan, i wanted work and friend time.
i need you, i need you bad, but you'll be four hours away.
we pulled through one year, i know we can make it through another year.
you've been a major part of my life, don't ever go away.
saw dave matthews last wednesday, found out that i miss the violin.
it's a beautiful sound and to see someone not even looking at his fingers as he strokes the bow up and down while dancing is something i wish i would be capable of, but i stopped.
one day i hope i can better than i once was at it.
i had a going away party, and all i know is my head was smashed against cement, i cried my eyes out, and felt disgusted, almost lost someone close, but compromise is all it takes.
i wrote you notes all along and thursday is the last day i'll see you for a while, i'll give them to you,
and i don't care when you read them but i hope one day you do.
i don't want to leave my job, it's a big part of my life.
2 and a half years, 30 to 40 hours a week.
and ladies that have become like my grandmothers.
almost like a family, a place for wisdom and warmth.
but i have to move on, like everyone else.
and with you next to my side i know i will be okay,
maybe even more than okay.
i look forward to reaching my goals, to traveling the country and hopefully the world soon,
to new friendships, and keeping the old ones. to a home of my own. to a life that will continue for many years.
