IsThisRealLife?

It is a thing. We are heading out tomorrow night to leave this island of memories. Can't believe it....

15 years of memories will be an entire ocean away from me for who knows how long. A new life awaits me in the land of Texas. What will I do? Who will I meet? Will I be better off there? Will I regret this move?

Right now I need to pack. But I keep procrastinating. I still have to pack most of my things as they are all scattered about my room. I am postponing the inevitable, but I want to savor every second left here in this apartment. This is my last night. The sadness and excitement are starting to swell inside of me. Thankfully I already used the bathroom.

Other than my life changing move I said my final goodbyes to my second family. It was awesome. One last day at the beach was what I wanted. Nothing like salt water to make my stomach forget the idea of leaving. Even when the time came for me to REALLY say goodbye to them all, I didn't cry. It must be a family thing. My family doesn't express themselves through tears. Goodbyes are as dry as the desert. But then again, my Great Elder Sage Siblings do tear up when they head back to college after every vacation back home. Oh, come now. Don't take it personally! I am sure the Sage Siblings were grief stricken when they said their final goodbyes to you, Dear Friends. Don't let the tears measure love for you. For me, I just don't cry unless it is a Korean drama or a hard hit to my face. Don't take it the wrong way! I felt a genuine sadness I never felt before. That was the first time I ever said farewell to such close friends. The sadness was great, but it didn't overwhelm me to tears. Cause I know I will see them all again. Whether it be in heaven or on this earth. They can't escape me! Ha!

Dear Readers, thank you so much for the amazing memories. For reading my posts (or not), for laughing with me, talking story, and spending some of the precious time we have on this earth togehter. I will treasure each hang out, each sleepover, each camping trip, every late night, and every single awkward joke and smile. We will definitely make more memories in the future, but for now we must go our own ways. Whether it be school, work, a new family, or all the above.

Since I am moving to Texas my Dear Friend and I made an awesome blog! Not only do I have this personal blog, but I also have a bro blog. Along with the blog we have a podcast. What's a podcast? It is just like a radio talk show, but with two amateur dudes who thought they should post their conversations on the internet! No, it is just another facet of the blog dubbed "NiMM Lounge." If you haven't you should check it out! It is a collaboration of my Eldest Sage Sibling, two Dear Friends, and yours truly. If you want to know more than check it out:

Nothing like a blog and podcast to keep the friendships strong.

I leave my home with a heavy heart. Even though I part I think I will always consider the Big Island my home. I will be back! I shall return! But for now. Let's look forward to the future that is filled with awesome and glorious mysteries from Above.
