Your life can change in an instant. It's so crazy to think about, because some things change over time, so slow we don't even realize it until we look at the situation from a distance. Then other things set your life on a different course in a matter of seconds.
That's how I felt today when my mom told me we were moving all the way across the country to Kittery, Maine. I'll be leaving my great school, fantastic and loving church, a group of friends, my best friend, my boyfriend, and a place in which I love to live in. It's funny that I felt the same exact way when leaving Ohio five years ago, but it just seems harder because I've been able to build up a life here.
Honestly, I feel kind of excited. New home, new places, getting to see the country, being close to dear family...I'm just nervous I will loose communication with the most important people in my life right now besides my family. I'm afraid of losing their admiration and friendship. I'm afraid of a lot of things when I hear the phrase, "we're moving to Maine." In fact, I cried for a while. But the phrase also brings to mind the new opportunities that I will have, possibly new friends I will make, and still the opportunity to stat in touch with and even get to know my friends here better, even though we are thousands of miles. I could be putting wishful words into my own mouth right now, but I'm thinking this: maybe change doesn't have to be bad. It will be if you look at it from a negative viewpoint all the time, but change can also be a wonderful thing if you learn to handle it in such a way that it will make you a better person.
