Thoughts

I have come to determine some things lately. I moved away from my friends, family, home, everything almost 6 months ago. I have decided that what I miss the most about being home is how simple things are. It is simple and easy to see family, friends, go where you want, and go where you are comfortable. Its where I grew up, I know all there is to know about it, and I like going back and reliving those memories. But by being away from all of that, you force yourself to want to remember more details, notice the things I would overlook at home, because things at home I know that I can see them again, but I might never be here again.

Being on the road in the past 6 months I have done more than I have done in my entire life. And I did them on my own. I found how to be comfortable, take risks, and enjoy what I have. I have met some cool people here, and have the bragging rights to say I lived in quite possibly the coolest city in the US. And then I move....and start back at ground zero. It is not always easy, but there is always something new to see and experience.

Last note, my life does not have much stress. I work hard, and play harder. The thing I think that has lowered stress in my life, minus the homework, exams, classes back at whitewater, is that I dont have any drama. I realized that people dont know me out here, and I can be whomever I want when I meet new people. I can let them in and let them know the real Chris, or I can be whoever I want. It is almost a test, you get to see different reactions people give. Look at it this way, it is a mask, you can be whoever you want to be, until you decide to be who you really are.

On a lighter note, I am moving. November 4th is about my last day in San Diego. Destination...most likely Texas, just outside Dallas. Visitors welcome. NO EXCUSES...I will be 1000 miles closer to home. But please, spare me the pity, visit because it would be fun...Yee haw...oh yeah, and I bought a cowboy hat. Ill fit right in.
