New Chapter

I'm about to start a new chapter in my life, but why am I so sad? I know once I get to D.C. I will be so excited to see all of my friends that have also moved there to start their careers. And I will be excited to see my roommates, who are two of my best friends. And I will be excited to start my new job and be making money. So why am I trying to push off leaving Massachusetts as long as possible even though I really don't have anything to do here?

I have come to the conclusion that there are several reasons why I am sad. One, I am leaving my home indefinitely. My family is here and as much as a I fight with them at times, I am going to miss them. Two, my last summer ever, or at least as far into the future as I can imagine, is over. This was my last summer of freedom and it was amazing. I got to do something I have always wanted to do and reconnected with old friends. But as soon as that happened, it's time to pack up and leave again. Three, I am scared of what the future holds. It sounds pretty silly that you can be scared at age 22 but I am. Who knows if I will like D.C. or my new job. Like all things, I guess we will just have to see.
