The end is near... or... the beginning

So, I'm about to leave ATL in a month! I may look cool, but I'm freaking out. How can I leave this place? I love it here. I love my people... but many of you are also leaving, sooner than me even... or maybe you've already left. It's the end of an era, seriously. You know how many say that your college years are some of the best of your life, well as crappy as it's been at times, even recently for me, I'm definitely going to cherish the experiences that I've had here in the A and the people with whom I've crossed paths... or walked down paths with. To my girls, I love you dearly. For my men that look out for me and take care of me, I love y'all too... even those of you that I only talk to (or text) every blue moon. Each of you has played an essential role in my life and my personal development up to this point, and I appreciate that. I don't know where I'd be without any of you. I'm not sure if I'm trying to do a "going away" thing or not. Please don't be offended if I leave without an official goodbye... I don't do goodbyes.

Enough mushyness though... Here's what it is right now, I'm moving out of my apt at the end of this week into my friend's place... so I'll still be around. I have my assistantship until the end of this month, so I, thankfully, won't be broke... else I would be in Augusta bored to tears for my last month in GA. I tried to sell my furniture, but as it turns out, I will be giving all of it to one of my friends. I'm actually hella excited about that, warms my heart. I like to invest in people, esp. when I know they're out there doing their best, trying to do big things. I haven't gotten anywhere in life without being blessed by God through the kindness of others, so I love when I get the opportunity to return the favor. It's meaningful, especially in the midst of what God and I are going through right now... but that's another entry for another day.

Well anyways, the bottom line is that I'm leaving very soon so if we've talked about meeting up before I leave, let's do that and not just leave it at a conversation.

Ciao.
