As I pack the last of my things here, I am getting ready for the next part of my life in Texas. I leave this Wednesday and I am dreading leaving every friend I have made in the past few years in Key West and here in Orlando as well. I do like to return back here to Florida one day and possibly live here again if I could, but I guess that is life and you have to move forward.
Making new friends is sometimes hard to do and I will never replace anyone who has respected me and I did nothing short of giving respect back in return, but it is something that I will have to get used to. I hope to find work in Texas that will get me somewhere in life worth living for. I will however enjoy getting to see my mom, her little dog Ollie, Charley, and Drew (who will begin college at Le Cordon Bleu).
I've accomplished a lot of things up to this point such as graduate from UCF, broke out of my shy habits, and even made a lot of friends here. It has been a long time since I cried about going somewhere else (haven't since my high school graduation), but I feel like I will as soon as I board my plane out of here because I am going to miss this place and as well as this state so damn much. I must do whatever it takes to get my life in order for the real world and make either an attempt to return to Florida or to go any place else. That is what is facing me.
If any friends are reading this, I just want to say thank you so much for being a part of my life, I love you and will miss each and every one of you!
