SO...
Here I am again, after saying I was leaving...
A lot has changed in the past month or so:
~New Apartment
~New Roommate
~New outlook on life
This is my first apartment and the first time out of my parents house. I basically had an "apartment" there, but its not the same. I know I probably sound pathetic, but I've never really had the chance to move out until now.
I'm almost 27 and just left home.
Home. Such a funny word...
For me, home meant wherever my family was. Mostly because we moved around a lot when I was growing up, that was what I had to cling to. I don't have a "hometown" or a place where I grew up with friends all my life. It has been good and bad in some ways.
The Good: I've learned to expect and except change. Change is a constant. If you're not growing or moving forward, you're dying.
The Bad: I'm getting better at it now, but for years I was so anti-social and stuck in my shell. There are still times when I am unsure in social situations. I feel awkward or dumb. Unsure of what to do or say. Even shaking hands is awkward at times. Some people want more than just a shake, or they do it differently, and I feel stupid for not getting it right.
Now is a time for growth. A time for change. To spread my wings and learn about the world.
FYI: I don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing!
