move out of my hometown

So, I’ve made a decision. By the end of January 2009, I will be living in Houston, TX. Yea, yea. Austin is an amazing city but baby steps, ok? There is no way I’m moving to ATX with $4 in my savings account and $20 in my pocket (yes, it’s that serious. lol). So, I’m headed to Houston where I have prospects on a great job so that I can save up and get my things together. I need to find a college to transfer to before mid January. I have one year of school left and as much as I’d love to just take a break and get a real job, I have to finish school. But for now, I have to go finish packing my bookshelves.

ETA: ya know, the more I think about moving the more excited I am to get out of here. :) B is my home town and I’ve been here for a loooong time. There are good memories and people that I’m gonna have to call every day because I will be missing them like crazy but…I’m so glad to go. B is just….its a slow town. I’m not feeling slow at this point in my life. I need action and I’m not getting it here. Its a little sad to walk through the house and see the boxes piling up, but better now than later.

And seriously, I’m only a few hours away from anything and anyone I could miss. Its nothing to drive.

I have lived in a small town in upstate New York for the majority of my life. I don’t fit the social requirements to have a good time (drinking and smoking).I want to go somewhere where people get excited about things like art and books and movies. Somewhere where I don’t have bad memories from my ex or from different issues I have. Everyday I stay here feels like another piece of me rots. I know that sounds melodramtic, but hey, it’s the truth. I want to go somewhere and abandon my reputation here and start all over. I need a new place, a new lease on life, and a new independence. I don’t think at this point I care where I end up… just not here.

I want to move out of my own town to experience something different. Meet people I dont know through avenues Id never ussually take! I have lived here for 22 years!!!

i want to move out of my hometown so bad. i just changed the name of my goal from “move to the east coast” to “move out of my hometown”. i don’t care where i go right now, i just want to get out. i want to travel a lot, and maybe move between different cities for a little while before i find the right place, or at least travel to a lot of different places for a while. once i really settle down and have a family, i’m ready to stay put, for the most part. i want to find where i belong. and its not here.

kiley and i might actually move to detroit in december… lew moved out there, and we just went and stayed with him for a weekend, and we loved it. we are considering transferring schools between the semesters. its him you have to convince, though, not me. haha

SIDE NOTE: its now the 2nd (tech the 3rd, 2:30am) but i mentioned to my mom today that kiley (my boyfriend) and i might move to detroit in december, and she got totally pissed. it surprised me so much that i got upset with her for being upset. i explained to her all the pros and cons, and she kind of had the “do what you want but i’m not supporting it” attitude by the end, which is better than the “you cannot go live with you boyfriend in detroit” attitude. but kiley and i have been together 2.5 years, and i’m almost 19 and i know were totally young, but just because we live in the same house doesn’t mean that we have to get married or anything. and its such a big step for our relationship, just because kiley has always been totally anti-move away from his mom, because he can’t be on his own, and this way, i can help him become more independent… maybe this is what he needs, but idk maybe its just wishful thinking… but i am not being the mother of that house, so they can forget about that :) maybe i am looking for change in all the wrong places? maybe i want change so bad that i’m overlooking what i’m actually doing? i don’t know, and maybe just going through with it is the only way for me to find out. just because i move in doesn’t mean i have to stay there. i can always find my own place if all else fails. idk. i dont really care. i like not knowing what might happen. i love the excitement of change and moving and new cities and new people, but that is what i’m talking about, when i say that maybe i’m trying to create a good situation out of a potentially destructive one? maybe now i’m being paranoid? haha

I have moved from this land to that. I have seen what it means. I have been where it came from. And I will figure it out, one day.

Its boring has bad minded people…the men piss me right off…i need a fresh start some where new.

i want to do this once i graduate college

Ironically, I live in my hometown but none of my family lives here anymore. They’ve all either died or moved away. It’s funny because it no longer even feels like “home,” though I’ve lived here for 21 of my 23 years. To top it all off, it’s not even an interesting city! The only reason I’m staying is to finish off my last year of college. One year left in this town. Go me! I can’t wait to find out what’s in the rest of the world and grow as a person.

I don’t want to be that girl that never left a small town. Nothing is really stopping me, I just want to see more places before I decide where I want to go.

I finally moved to Forlì, to attend uni.
It’s not easy, expecially for the first days… But it’s absolutely awesome!
I’m enjoying a lot and i’m meeting loads of new people!
Do it, if you have the chance!
