     Life's a bitch!

You know that moment when you feel you finally got life figured out and then something happens to fuck it up? Well, that's basically how my life has always been, whenever i feel am getting the hang of things, something happens. Like now for example, am moving....again! I thought my family have finally settled down in one place but nooooo, i was wrong and just after getting comfortable and making friends, this happens. I guess i shouldn't be surprised, my family moves around a lot because of my dad's job. He works in this really big company; Rida Enterprises and his job entails him being transferred a lot.

   Where are my manners; let me introduce myself.

My name is Kiyana Michealson, the only child of Mr and Mrs Michealson. I am 17 years old in my final year in high school. I am a 5'4 dark skinned girl. I have really brown eye with  full black and curly  hair. I like to think am pretty.

I am a Nigerian by birth and both my parents are Nigerians but we left Nigeria when i was still a baby

I am a Nigerian by birth and both my parents are Nigerians but we left Nigeria when i was still a baby. In my 18 years on this Earth, i have lived in Nigeria, Seattle, Canada, London and Australia. It was fun at first, getting to travel and see new places but after a while i got tired of it all.

   Right now, my dad and mom are informing me that we are moving again to Atlanta in Georgia.

 "again?" i said

"yes sweetie, am sorry, you know how you dad's work is,"
 my mom said "it's going to be alright, you will our new place. It's very pretty there this time of the year".

I sighed and just nodded, "dad you really should get another job," i said to my dad.

My dad just laughed and said, "am sorry dear, i will try and make this the last time we move"

"okay, no problem," i said "when do we leave?"

"in 2 days," my mom said.

  I just sighed and stood up to go to my room to start packing. I didn't really have any close friends to call and say goodbye to, so i just concentrated of packing up what i needed. We just had to pack our clothes and valuables as the house we were moving into was already furnished and all, courtesy of my dad's company. I went to bed thinking of how am going to start all over again in a new place and school. I hate my life.

       The day to move finally arrived and i took one last look at my room and carried my bags to the car where my parents where already waiting for me so we could go to the airport.

    We arrived at the airport and checked in our luggage in, then waited for our flight to be called. Soon i heard a voice announcing the boarding of our flight, so my parents and i boarded and we settled in our seats for the flight. My parents weren't able to get a seat close to them, son i was sitting far away from them in between a very large and muscular guy and a really fat woman. It's gonna be a long flight. I slept for most of the flight and read a novel for the rest.

    We finally arrived in  Atlanta and there was someone fro  my dad's company there to pick us up and take us to our new house. We finally got to the house and i have to say it was beautiful.

      We got inside and i immediately went to my room to sleep, i was beyond tired

      We got inside and i immediately went to my room to sleep, i was beyond tired. I liked my new room, it was spacious and turquoise blue and lemon in colour with a queen sized bed and shelves filled with books (i love to read). I got ready for bed and as soon as my head hit the pillows i was in la la land.

   I woke up the next day to an unfamiliar but beautiful environment, then remembered we were now in Atlanta. I showered and dressed and went down for breakfast. My mom and dad were already eating breakfast.

 "Good morning mom and dad," i said to them

"Good morning dear," they both replied

"so you are starting school next week, so we will go shopping for your school supplies tomorrow," my mom said

"okay, no problem," i said

"i have to go to work now, see you guys later," my dad said

"bye daddy," i said

       After breakfast, i went to my room and unpacked my things and when i was done, laid on my bed, checking my instagram, reading novels and going down to get food when hungry. Time passed and it was time for dinner.

   I went down for dinner and when i was done, went back to my room and got ready for bed. I was tired, doing nothing all day can be tiring.
