The Move to Utah, A New Life Awaits
Posted by Andrew | Filed under General
I have been very busy the last two weeks with my impending move to Utah. Unbelievably, I will be leaving New England on Saturday, for the moment of course, until the date changes again. It’s had a bad habit of changing. It has been an interesting few days, it’s hard to accept the fact that I won’t be seeing a lot of the people and places I’ve been seeing for months to come.
Right now, I am sitting in my room, my sanctuary for the past eleven years. It is a mess. Books are strewn about, the walls are blank, the shelves are empty, and their is trash and dust all over the carpet. Boxes are everywhere, and my biggest fear is that they won’t all fit into the back of my car. How is one person, even if they are as young as I am, fit their entire life into the back of a compact sedan?
The only comfort I have is that I know where I am going to be living when I get there. I will be living in the suburb of Sandy, south of Salt Lake City. I looked up the address of the place I will be living at, and I must admit I am excited. Not just for the new experiences and the new school, but for the chance to have an entirely new life.
For the first time in my life, I can start straight from scratch. Nobody I meet in Utah have to know anything about my life here in New England. It’s a chance to reinvent myself, to never have to worry about what other people really think of me. The people in Utah don’t know my past mistakes that have made people in New England look at me through biased eyes. People are what you make them, you control your relationships with others. My training phase is ending now, and the next phase is about to begin.
Wish me luck.
