| | did it really happen, these past five months? all the people from my daily life are now gone. coworkers, classmates, and random acquaintances are pretty much gone for good. i don't know why this finally hit me tonight, weeks after graduation. the only other time i've transplanted myself was the transition from high school to college life, but at least there was structure to that move.
i'm loving every second of life with john and our apartment will finally start to come together after the final move this weekend. our apartment complex got our move-in date wrong by a whole month, so we've been living out of boxes since May. saturday movers come to do all the heavy lifting (paid for by the apartment complex) and john and i can unpack. my poor baby hasn't seen his books or dvd's for two months!
i know this move will take time to adjust properly, i just wish i had an external life that is set up as well as my home life. clear as mud, right?
i haven't been able to sleep well for two nights, i keep thinking of random events from the past ten years or so: people who influenced me and those i met in passing, weddings, funerals, birthdays, family trips, the whole nine yards. i think part of this insomniac version of memory lane is because i can't go home anymore. my parents sold my childhood home and now live in a different city. I can't go back and see San Antonio the same way anymore. granted, it's not the same city either. the finality of my parents move has changed the way i see my own move.
i'm excited about what's coming in my life, i guess this is just part of the process of moving on. besides, going home again isn't the same as never leaving in the first place.
