Today was the day. I moved to college. Out of my home of eighteen years. Yesterday was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I packed all my belongings into storage bins and boxes. I sat on the floor of my room, and began to sob. I had heard of people sobbing and I thought I had, but yesterday was the first time I sobbed; body shaking, uncontrollable, heavy sobs. I was grieving the past eighteen years of my life. I have been blessed with a wonderful home and a family that loves me to the moon and back. Yesterday, I felt like I was going to miss so much in our family. The fact of the matter is, I will miss a lot in the next year; my niece being born and watching her grow, the Sundays of non-stop football, seeing my sister drop by after work when she feels like it, and so much more. But today, has enlightened me and lifted my heart. As I carried my things to my room, and unpacked them I felt okay. I felt more ready for college than I have in a long time. Even now, as I sit in my room with my amazing roommate I feel at home. I will make a new family and I will fight the battles placed before me.Today was the day that I made room in my heart for new love and adventure.
