moving is always bittersweet. on one hand there’s always the anticipation of something new and exciting, but on the flip side, there’s the sadness of leaving something that’s been a large part of your life. today i started packing stuff away so that i can put it into storage. it really sucked. i’m trying to throw stuff away as much as possible since i’m such a packrat and i acquire so much junk… but it’s super hard for me to part with pretty much anything. *everything* has some kind of sentimental value to it. each thing i throw away pains me a lot. but i gotta do it.<\/p>\n
it’s a really odd thing to think that all the stuff that i do pack, i wont see again for a whole year. usually when you move, you put everything in boxes, and then take it out the following week at the new place, but most of my stuff is going into storage. i keep trying to imagine what it’s gonna feel like a year from now opening up these boxes again and peering inside at the life that i left behind for so long. how am i gonna view all my possessions after spending a whole year w\/ just a backpack to my name?<\/p>\n
but it’s not just throwing away my possessions that makes me bummed. there’s so much more that i’m leaving behind than that. i’ve lived here for about 2.5 years, and i’m really gonna miss this place. i totally love this house, and i love SF. plus, i’m really gonna miss my roommates. i’ve been living w\/ erica for about 5 years. that’s *such* a long time. it’s gonna be so bizarre not to live w\/ her anymore. i’m really gonna miss being able to see her all the time.<\/p>\n
it’s weird… everyone always says how every cloud has a silver lining… but the same usually applies in reverse. most good things have a dark lining. for every good thing you get, you usually have to give something up.. whether it be money, time, or whatnot. this rtw trip is definitely gonna be an incredible once in a life time experience, but at the same time, it’s rough that i’m gonna leave pretty much everything and everyone that i hold near and dear behind…<\/p>\n
