Moving... Exciting, Yet Scary

So I'm moving away in 5 days... Let me start with where.
Clarksville, TN. That's where I'm moving. My older sister Jen lives up there with her five beautiful and adorable(but annoying at times I'm sure, just ask her haha) children, and her large, and very hairy(love you David ;) husband.
Better(and closer) job opportunities, two beauty schools I can try and go to, awesome people who will feed me well(forgot to post about me going gluten free, but now I am! Yay? Sigh...), sounds really good right? I thought so! So I went ahead and decided I would take them up on their offer to let me live with them so I could move on with my life. YAY ME!
I'm hoping and praying things will turn out fairly well, hopefully I won't crash and burn, right? Ha!

So yeah, I'm moving..
For the past few months I've been having some pretty serious depression issues,(not that anyone noticed, I'm pretty good at hiding it) and decided I needed a serious life change, and SOON. Because I was about to go insane! I just felt so trapped and unhappy sitting at home all day doing nothing really. Sure, I have chores, and the internet(ha), but there is just something missing. I need a job, bad, and there are just better options for me in Clarksville.

I've been sitting here thinking about it, and I'm really happy I'm doing this. While there's a chance of failure, I would rather fail trying, then just sit at home and become a bum, right? Right.
While I know I'm 18, and that's usually about the time children fly the coop. I can't help thinking how crazy it's going to be not living here. In this house. The house I grew up in. The house I was BORN in! I've had a lot of memories here... Some good, and some bad. But those ups, downs, experiences, and memories all make me, me. So I wouldn't trade them for anything. This year has been pretty rough for me. But again, I wouldn't change anything. What if I had had an awesome year, and then just stayed here? Not making a change, not moving on and doing something with my life? What if that is what sent me in the direction I'm supposed to be going? Maybe I would have ended up sitting at home doing nothing for a few more years, and that wouldn't have been good. So I'm glad for all the crap this year, because it pushed me to where I'm not going to sit around waiting for life to come to me, I'm going to go chase after it!
Because I deserve it. I deserve to be happy. To have what I want. To do what I want.

So wish me luck, and I'll try and keep you somewhat updated(ha, yeah right)
Enjoy your fall everyone!!
