Human nature.
It teaches us to do really crazy things.
It teaches us that we are supposed to marry someone and create a family. Enjoy every second with that family. Have heart aches along the way. Laughs make it in there as well. Gain so many memories. Make it become all you know for 18 years of your life.
Then we are taught to accept change. And to create change. We are taught to leave it behind and find something else. We are taught to be strong and not cry. We are taught to dream, but be realistic at the same time. We are taught to become our own person and gain independence.
We are taught all of this and are taught to teach others these rules one day.
The truth is, leaving scares me. Phoenix is all I know. My support is here. My incredible parents! Who love me so much and push me to be my best. My sister, who is my best friend. It's all becoming a reality. Moving away, finding a new life, leaving this one behind.
Why do we do this? Why does moving on have to include pain as well?
I'm crying while writing this. Because, who really knows what we are doing. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I figure I won't know until I get there.
I didn't know what I was doing with my weight, and I've lost the weight of a toddler so far.
I just don't know, and I figure it will come together. But, it stresses me out, knowing that this is ending soon. Everyday is my last something here.
And I can't help but cry..
Who can't cry in a time like this?..
