I've been feeling a bit on the fence about leaving Oakland. In the bigger picture, it's the best choice for me for many reasons. But despite all of the bad, I'm still a bit sad about this move.
Today my guy and I were cleaning the apartment. He has seemed to have a delayed reaction throughout this whole moving thing and today was no exception. I noticed he was really quiet and I realized he was sad about leaving.
I called him over to me and gave him a hug. He said despite all the bs, we have a lot of good memories in this apartment over the last year and a half and he's sad to be leaving it. I told him we still have each other. We still have each other and we are the only people that stepped foot in this apartment over the last year (we didn't invite anyone over) which means we are what really matters. We are the reason this apartment has seen any life at all.
And that pretty much goes with my philosophy on life in general. Places and things come and go. And so do people. But people and the relationships we have with them are the most precious moments in life. They are what make up a great life! So even though I'm sad about this big change coming, I am going to a city full of family members and warm weather. Family can be dramatic and draining, but they are also an important lifeline.
And when I want to reminisce about my times in the bay, I can do it with someone that was by my side the whole time.
