Today was the day. Today was the day the rest of my life began.

Ever since I was a kid I had always dreamed of traveling the world, going to amazing far off places like London or Oregon. Somewhere where there were things to do, places to go. As a kid I didn't travel much, so I decided that when I was older I'd at least travel to one new place. I always thought it was so amazing to experience something new.

That's why today is so special to me, but also incredibly terrifying. Today I was moving out of my family's house. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my family, and I'll miss them dearly. Especially my dad. I know it's kind of weird for your parent to be your best friend, but my dad was mine and I've always been more than grateful for that. My dad helped me through so much, I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. I knew if i was going to miss one thing, it'd be my dad. He was my rock, my #1, and I knew leaving him and my home of 18 years would probably be the most heartbreaking thing I'd ever do.

However, I'm also very excited to move out. The thought of living alone always sparked my interest, ever since I was 13. Thought it didn't make much sense to my parents, since they knew I had problems when I was alone for too long. So when I told them I wanted to live alone, they were surprised, yet supportive. I had it all planned out. I'd move to another state, find a cute little apartment, and find a job to support myself. Something part time but fun. Maybe at a bakery or a library or something.

I also wanted to move in hopes of finding some new friends, possibly even a boyfriend if I got lucky. When I was younger, I didn't feel like I had many friends. I wasn't close to anyone, I never had a "best friend" other than my dad. Anyone who I was even remotely "friends" with are moved away or in college. I hadn't even had a boyfriend within the past few years. Along the road I kind of gave up on dating, mostly because I never found anyone I really clicked with. Some past experiences with boyfriends kind of led me to give up hope on love too. So I convinced myself that I just wasn't capable of finding love, and you know what? That worked out fine for me, even though I was pretty lonely sometimes.

Moving out at 18 can be scary. When I was young I always thought I'd go to college. But as I got older, I realized I didn't want to sit through another 4+ years of tears and finishing projects at 3am. I was over school and wanted to do something exciting with my life.

And today was the day. With my bags packed in the trunk and snacks ready in the backseat with me, my parents blasted my favorite radio station and drove me to the airport to get on the plane that would take me to my new life.

wow omg sorry that was so short idk what i'm doing
