move away

I’ve been talking about wanting to get out of ohio for years. Not that there’s anything wrong with Ohio, it’s just not that great either. But in two days i’m finally moving away to charlotte, NC. and I can’t wait.

Im bored of where i live and want to move.
Somewhere really far and with a completely different culture like Tokyo or Sydney.

I want away. FAR away. That’s my motivation to study hard and learn languages, knowing that might help me getting to a college abroad. I find Dublin and the whole Ireland interesting, as well as France, Portugal or Bazil. I just want AWAY from here. And I know I’ll get out.

Finally bit the bullet and left my home town. Am now residing in Bogota, Colombia, for the next six months!

I’m completely ready for something new! I’ve been here way too long and right about now would be great for a change.

I want to move away after college. Moving away from everything & everyone I know – entirely – after college & finding my own way through the world is what I dream of. I’m fed up with the suburban/city life I’ve always known. I need a change from all these people & all the materialism. I want to lose contact with all my friends & acquaintances, just keep my family close. The long winters & wicked short summers have got to go. I’m still trying to figure out how I’d get my car from the East coast to the West coast or East coat down to the South. I’m also trying to figure out where…California? Texas? Louisiana? Nevada? or an entirely different country???

Well… I’m graduating this year. And I have made plans to move out of my house, and back to my old town to room with one of my best friends. First six months rent is free. I’m pretty excited. =)

When I turn 18 I want to move away from my boring town. I need a change.

If i could just move away and severe those binding and constricting ties to family friends bosses gas station attendant, and professors (sigh) life would be so much easier. I would have more money because it would be just me I would have more freedom because no one is fighting for what free time I do have. I would love to relocate to some hick town where every one knows every one else except for me! where I could start everything over again. Maybe finally be happy. but at last I know this will never happen because of my son the one person I could never severe the tie to. Whats a girl to do?

Let me give you some details so you can visualize my town. So it’s a small town about halfway between Memphis and Nashville. The population is around 7000 half of which are still in high school and elementary. The most exciting place in my town is Wal-Mart!..no joke. We have a small bowling alley that no one goes to, a one cinema theater that plays movies that have already been out for like a month..and they’re usually PG but sometimes they’ll throw a PG-13 in there. We also have a park. It has a little playground, a pool, a “skate park”, a tennis court, and of course the little league baseball fields. That’s all the excitement of my little town. We have little shops all around that sell this and that but nothing really great. We have one big car lot..well it’s big compared to all the small used car lots.. We have a more car washes and gas stations than anything else, which I think is ridiculous. I don’t really think we have any elementary schools that are within city limits, they’re all still in the same county they’re just way out there..does that really make sense? We have one high school and a community college. Actually the community college is kinda like a fake community college.. It’s not even the main campus. It’s really just a smaller center that offers a few classes so we don’t have to drive as much, since the main campus is 30 to 40 minutes away. Yea..small town life..it’s great!!

yea right

There is nothing for me here. There is nothing to offer. Most of the jobs are factories and fast food. My grandmama and I were talking about this earlier. I brought up how there are no good paying jobs here. She brought up my cousin who works in a factory, “Well Joseph does pretty good. He’s making about $12.50 an hour.” Really, wow..that’s nothing. And that’s at a factory. He’s doing what she calls “good” in one of the very few jobs here..and it’s a damn factory. You could probably be a nurse at our hospital but no one really wants to work there. They don’t even deliver babies there anymore, you have to go to the next town. They pretty much give you a band aid and some Tylenol.
And the majority of the people here is white. If there was, by some odd chance an open opportunity like some nice job that pays half way decent, most likely a white person would get this job. And you also have to know people. It’s a small town, a lot of people are related. Why is it that most of the better off families are usually related? Hmm..what a big coincidence, I bet there were no strings attached.
People here are so closed minded. You have to be a certain way, a lot of people here are more or less the same. If I were to graduate college with a masters degree in just about anything and stay here in this little bitty town, I would have wasted 6 years of my life.
That’s why I want to move away. I know I don’t belong here. I’ve been feeling like that since I graduated high school. I just need to finish my prerequisites at this fake little community college so I can transfer somewhere else. Out of state tuition is crazy but who knows where I’ll go or what will happen..

Where ever it is..I’m gettin the hell up outta here!!
