So, this is my big fat shocking confession entry.
I'm moving back to Virginia. Soon.
There were numerous factors that culminated in me making this decision, but most of what it comes down to is that it just makes sense.
I haven't been unhappy out here, quite the opposite actually. I've had a lot of fun. But I also feel stuck, and as if I am losing a lot of my potential for growth by staying out here.
The economy sucks, I haven't been able to get in to any classes, I don't get enough hours at work to support myself if I'm not in school full time. Also, my land lady is getting married and moving out, and while she says she would just like to be able to rent the entire house as one unit, I'm pretty sure that really she is looking to sell.
I've been kind of thinking about this for awhile no. That I miss home. That I m not sure if it is doing me any good staying out here. Etc. At the same time I was trying to push of making any decision. In my head choosing to move back equated to some sort of failure.
I'm trying to be logical and practical here though. And really, I'm an east coast girl.
So I am selling everything that I can, sticking everything else in my car, and driving back across the country.
I have my place for all of September, but most of me just wants to get things out of the way so that I can head back. Especially with how much great fun driving across country in my temperamental car, stuffed with my shit, and two cats is going to be. I just want to get it over with.
I'm going to be doing the awesomely fun and exciting thing of moving back in with my parents for the time being. It really just sounds like my mom wants me to. And I can get a job, work full time, and start just saving up some money. They are going to be giving me the entire basement, which is twice as large as my current apartment. And there is a bathtub. I'm trying to tell myself this isn't regression, it is necessary change.
When I have the money, and a person to live with, I'll find a place of my own.
So, all you LA peeps, get me while you still can!

I sometimes toy with the idea of moving back to Virginia too, but I think right now, while I'm still young, I need to get this urge to be everywhere at once out of my system before I go back.. well, IF I were to go back. Who knows. Maybe some day you and I will be neighbors on the East Coast haha.
Sometimes everyone needs a little time to regroup and it doesn't mean regression.
Let me know when you have a date on when you're going to be in town. I'd love to take a trip down to DC and come see you. I'm starting classes next week, but I should be able to take a long weekend at some point. Call or text me, man! I'd love to catch up.
