Man, am I in store for a total 180 in my life. Just today I put in an application for a rent house for my Fiance and me. And then an hour later, I get the call saying that we are approved, and I set the move in day for May 10th. Now, I have lived in my home all my life with my family. Not once have I left to live someplace else, not even for school. So really, it is all that I know and confide in. Truth be told, I am scared... I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life about this change. I will be living on my own until the middle of June, that's when I will be Married and she will move in with me. The whole impact of how quickly it is all coming has me shocked. I will be leaving my home behind, my town, everything! I recall an episode of "Boy Meets World" where Cory and Mr. Feeny were discussing his moving to New York. He was afraid of leaving home too, but Mr. Feeny gave him a metaphor that makes a lot of sense. There was a plant that he kept in the same pot from a tiny seed. After he worked to build that flower into something beautiful, he realized that it could not continue to grow if it stayed there. So it decided to move it--it did not go with ease from the pot. He had to force it out, because it wanted to stay with what it knew. But, if it stayed in that same place... It would not be able to grow and become all it had the potential to be. I guess I am the same way. I am still frightened.
