Good-byes, and hellos
Well, this was a productive weekend!
I met up with a lot of east-coast friends, and my family, and said my goodbyes. It was very nice, and I really enjoyed myself, but I couldn't help but feel rather upset about the whole thing, because I really got a good profile of just everything I was leaving behind me. I know they, my family and my friends, were all supportive of me and my move, and I'm glad they all came to wish me luck. I just wish I could make it easier on them, really.
It's kind of funny. I'm the one who has to pack, drive across country, live on the road for half a week or so, and I feel worse for them than I do for myself. I think it's because I know how much I love my family, and assuming it's reciprocated, which I always have felt it has been, I understand how heartwrenching it can be to see someone go all the way across the country, or leave at all.
I really only recently felt the gravity of the situation, and find myself coming to terms with the fact that I won't really miss the surroundings so much as the people that I care about. The northeast is great, every place you go has character... But really, I don't think I fit in with folks around here.
Anyway, I'll see you all on the other coast, I guess! Take care everyone, and thanks for the sendoff, to those of you who were there!
