A Book of Short Stories

Short Story 18

MOVING 

Okay, to start, for those of you that have been following me for a while and have kept up with my social media, you would know that I've been spending the last month or so down in North Carolina, to give myself a mental break. 

I recently got out of an emotionally abusive relationship that I almost chose to stay in, knowing how toxic and unhealthy it really was. Now, again, if you've been keeping up with my chaotic life (ha-ha), you would know that I'm also attempting to write a book based on this said relationship, both for educational purposes and to help myself recover and push forward. 

Now, all that aside, since spending the past month or so away from home, my mother and I have decided we want to move here. And by the grace of God, it's looking like it's going to happen. 

My college is online for the most part so that's looking like it won't be an issue, and my boss from my job can easily just transfer me here, so all my stars are aligning. I'm going to miss all my friends, but I know it will be a positive transition for me. Alsoooo... 

I GOT MY PERMIT!! 

Yes, yes I know, it was a long time coming, especially since I'm 19 already, but I decided to start driving and I feel even more confident in myself than I ever really have before. The driving schools here are a lot less expensive, safer, and less time-consuming than the ones I experienced back home. 

Now, as for my side-hobby Wattpad, I'm going to start adding as much as I can to my page and my stories as well. Now as for me being a Cape Cod girl, not much will change. My mother and I are planning on staying here in NC for 9 months out of the year then going back up to the cape for the summer, so I can visit my father and his side of the family, as well as all of my friends. 

My mother and I have been wanting to move here for what feels like a lifetime, and I'm so relieved that it's looking more and more possible each day. 

Thank you all for your endless support and love you've given me all these years :)
