Locking up the past

Today I locked the door to my old apt and finally walked away from my past.

It was bittersweet.

The memories I will hold onto are the happy ones.

The move down to Valpo from Walled Lake, Michigan on August 12, 2006 was a hot muggy day, just like today.

I was uncertain about where my life was going.

Almost 4 years later, not much as changed...I am still uncertain about my future.

I guess it didn't seem as scary back then though.

I had someone by my side, someone to hold my hand.

Life can be scary, nerve-racking, exciting and challenging when you're alone. When you're just one.

While many of my friends and family are moving forward in their lives, I can't help but feel like my life just took several steps back.

People are getting married and having babies and I'm the single friend receiving +1 wedding invitations.

I am very much thankful for great friends and family who love and support me unconditionally.

This is just not where I thought I'd be right now in my life.

The door to my past is officially locked...it can't hold me back anymore.
