Harshaw

I just found out one of my roommates is moving in a month, this actually makes 2 that will be moving in a month. The only way we have been able to live in this house is because of the number of people living here (currently 5). A few months ago, another roommate moved out to move in with his girlfriend... they are now shopping for a ring. This house has been a second family to me. I have known and lived with most of these guys for 4-5 years. Now we are all going our seperate ways.
Three months ago, the person I figured I would be with forever picked up her roots and moved away. She did it quick, one moment she was there like she always was... the next moment she was gone, my only access to her through email.

Its such and odd feeling, I didn't really get the feeling of "moving on" after I finished high school or college. Now everything is different. I'm not really sad... I was sad when Steph moved to California, but I got over it. I will be sad not living with my friends anymore. But mostly I feel VERY excited! The world feels very open to me right now. I can pick up and leave in a month if I want. Coast Guard, grad school, getting a job in Alaska, anything I want to do.

It makes me happy that I can still attain this sense of new beginnings after I have had so many new beginnings. But damn.. I'm pretty scared right now as well.


Thanks for listening.

I'm going to be moving out in 2 months and I sort of feel the same way. I'm nervous about living on my own, I'm feeling unsure about it. Can I really afford it? Will I get too lonely?

But I know that it's something I have to do. It's a stepping stone to something greater.

Good for both of you, Harshaw and Averett, for recognizing change as an opportunity. It's scary as hell, but you never know what's going to be on the other side.

The thing about growth is: it never seems to happen at a convenient time...and it never seems to stop.

But I say just go with it. You'll both do just fine!

This was just what you needed, <b>Harshaw</b>.

You've been on the fence for quite awhile now about your plans for the future - looks like your soon-to-be-ex-rommates have been kind enough tp push you out of the nest so you can test your wings.

Embrace the joys of new beginnings that these circumstances have delivered to you - and best of luck to you.

In the beginning of March, I'm moving back out of my parents' place, and I can't wait.

Promises to be very cool, and I love a new beginning. Take it for everything it's worth!!

My wife and I are splitting, leaving me to watch my daughter by myself. Besides my daughter being there, this is the first time I've ever lived alone, whether it was with parents, roommates, girlfriends...

A big change, but I'm actually looking forward to it, in a nervous kinda way...
