Disappearing Act Part Twain

I seem to have a hard time admitting to people when I'm moving. I guess part of me would prefer just to silently and somewhat stealthily sneak out of people's lives. Maybe I hate goodbyes or explanations or both. The point is, I probably should start telling people these things farther in advance. Oh and I'm moving.

I was going to stay here until June, but after some thought and brief discussion, it was concluded that it wasn't really necessary to stay that long. So I'll be disappearing two weeks from Saturday and reappearing a state over. Part of me is sad to leave. I've really enjoyed having my sister as a roomie, and there's some other pretty awesome people here too. I came to Utah thinking it wouldn't be a permanent thing. Perhaps I jinxed it--and by jinxed I mean made it come true... I don't think I can think like that anymore. When I believe it's temporary, that I don't want to stay in a place too long, it's harder to make the effort that I should be to progress in life because I'm afraid of getting stuck. It's good to know that I can always return home if I need to, but I honestly need to try to be out on my own. And if I have to go back home, that's okay. Times are tough.

Growing up is a tad bit scary sometimes.

But I'm not going to quite be all on my own just yet. See this crazy person?




The crazy person to the left that is. I'll be moving in with her and her family while I do some job searching. 

It was a hard decision and I was a little overwhelmed at the prospect at first, but I'm really looking forward to spending some time in Colorado. Once again, I don't know what the future holds. But that's okay. Life is a grand adventure with ups and downs and plenty of uncertainty. Even so, the good things make it all worth it.

So take a deep breath and plunge into the adventure that lies ahead!
