 Putting it in a Box
Faced with a major move ahead of me I can't help but be stressed by the fact that it all comes down to putting things in boxes. My things. ALL my things.  And those things that don't fit will be tossed, sold or given away.

How is it that all of my life, my fifteen years living in the biggest city in the world can come down to being placed in boxes?

How did I live for fifteen years in the biggest city in the world? And why am I leaving it?

These are all valid questions that I ask myself as I ramp up to the move.  I'm moving back to my home state of GA.  A big move not only geography but in psyche.  See i spent my entire youth trying to get out of GA.  Then I did.  New York was hard, very hard.  There were some great times.  Some really great times.   But as all things come full circle so have I.  I have decided to move closer to family and to have a quiet life again.

But I can't get away from those boxes.  I'm going to have to purchase them.  I'm going to have to fill them.  I'm going to have to move them.  And with them my entire life.  From one state on the map to another.  How am I gonna do that?

One box at a time.

hi there...
i hear you...moving is a traumatic thing...especially when it comes to choosing what stays and what goes. i've done it many times before, and unfortunately it does not get any easier :(
try to think of the new *quiet/different* life that you are looking forward to.
good luck on the move!
cheers!
:)
