Moving Away From Home
Today starts a new adventure that started just a short two years ago, and with a little mouse named Mickey.
Being an out-of-state college student, leaving home to go to school was never an emotional task. There are some people who have a difficult time leaving their family behind while they go on trips. I am not one of those people, because for me I know I will be back home soon.
However, this time around saying goodbye was not so sweet.
I felt my heart crumble at the thought of leaving my grandparents, my little island, and all the comforts of home. There would be no more beach days, Wednesday night dinners at Papa's house, cool trade winds, or lazy days with my sister and nephew. All of this things that I used to do everyday was no longer part of my life, and that is what hurt the most.
I am an independent person. I am able to travel at any time of the year. Being by myself is something that I have never really struggled with. So what was it about this trip that was different?
Well, this trip was a one way ticket.
There is no knowing when I'll be back to my paradise home, or when I'll be able to taste my Grandma's home cooking next. The fact is, there is no definite date of when I'll be able to see my family again, and that is scary.
Though, with the new year and all of the new opportunities that will soon be in front of me, I am excited for this new adventure! So here is to 2018, to trying new things, and to being outside of my comfort zone and making the world mine. Question of the Day: What are you going to accomplish this year?
