It's Not the Fall That Kills You, It's the Sudden Stop
So I finally made it away from home. I got what I wished for. It's pretty nice. I'm feeling a little homesick. I feel kind of alone too. It's always been funny to me that you can be geographically closer to more people you know than ever before, but you still feel like no one is there. I've got two of my closest friends within 5 to 10 minutes from me now. This whole process of adjusting has left me kind of in shock I guess. Maybe it's that everything went so fast the last few weeks, but now its just trudging along slowly. It's strange not having my parents around. The people I've seen just about every day for my entire life. There is no longer a stable aspect in my life except for the few physical things (like things from home, but those dont carry much importance). Everything is free to shatter at will. Like I said, my friends are here, but I won't see them every day. I couldn't bring my dog with me if I wanted to. I hope this statement isn't too bold, but I think everyone wants to have someone whose presence makes everything better. At least that's what I want. Someone who is inseparable from me. I hope I find that here. If not, it's going to be a long, uncomfortable 3 years.
