All through my life I’ve gone around schools trying to fit in, to find ‘the right crowd.’ My dad said that my true friends would show themselves eventually, and they’d fit in with me and I wouldn’t have to mold myself into their picture, and last year I think I found them. Definitely this year. First of all, my online friends, I couldn’t live without them because they simply ooz awesomeness. And then my R/L friends: Teresa, Sarah, and Alex. Such a small group, no? Well, they’re who I choose to hang with and fuck off to anybody that tells me otherwise.
So here’s my problem…
We’re moving.
Our family isn’t financially stable: our house is too big, my grandparents have moved in, and we’re in some serious debt. We need to move to a smaller house, and that means my dad has to take another job. So he applied for one in Washington DC without telling me (we live in FL) and we’ll be getting a reply any day now. Knowing my luck, we’re gonna get it. Knowing my luck.
I’ve grown so much in FL that I’m depressed about leaving. Before my friends, before Aikido, I thought moving would be fun, but now it’s just scary. Not for the new area, but for what will happen to my relationships.
So honestly… I don’t know what to do. It’s out of my control.

Well you have to keep positive. It isn't a certainty yet is it? And if you aren't financially stable then a move to Washington just for the sake of a job would be risky. And if you do happen to move then your freinds will get in touch with you, maybe even take small vacations to see you, and you could do the same. If you find you are really good freinds with them then you will find they are freinds for life.

Welllll....this may seem silly, but keep contact with them through MSN(like we all do)...email, a secret board, something....text messages, talk to them over the phone...send pictures of each other or something...it may not be the same since some people in RL turn odd online(Mitchell!), but its still something.
However as Rain said, keep positive.
And also, when one door closes, another opens. You may be losing running around with Teresa, Sarah, and Alex all the time....but also, I am sure there will be new friends in DC or wherever you go. New friends that you shall like, I doubt you'll get there and hate everyone.

Problem is, people are really really different on MSN, HK  Mitchell... he's not that different >.> Meh, I guess I just wanted to post this last night because I was in a horrible mood. Writing is a nice way to get things out. Whatever happens, I can't stop it and I won't try. There's such a thing as a losing battle. >.> |

Yeah. Online is not the same but at least its something. Things may seem bad, but you will soon find things picking up. And as you get older the world seems to get smalled. You should see them in RL too.

Take it from someone who's moved around more than is good. While you will miss your friends for some time, it won't take too long till you find new people. It might take a while, but I've yet to encounter any collective that would completely ostracise newcomers  Trust me, you'll be fine. It will just take a while. |

It might take a while, but I've yet to encounter any collective that would completely ostracise newcomers Trust me, you'll be fine. It will just take a while. Indeed. In a way, its almost like spreading your wings...don't forget about your old friends, keep in contact, visit each other...but be sure to let new friends in. Trust me, I haven't moved around AS much, but back before I went into homeschooling(even by the time I graduate over the next couple years or so, I'll still have gone to regular school longer), I went through a hundred circle of friends. Heck even online I've gone through a few. Basically, friends are forever, but you have to let yourself find new ones too. And its not fun when you or a friend move or switch schools or something, but again, when one friend grows distant, another grows close. |

Thanks, DA. I guess I'll just wing it, I suppose. If I get a webcam, I can probably stay in touch with Boomermassacre. |
