Thoughts of moving back to Minnesota...
14 years ago
Been missing home lately. Think after a few years of saving I am gonna move back to Minnesota. Don't really know why I moved out to Colorado to begin with, but looking back at it now I regret it. I spent thousands, & set myself back a long ways from getting myself into college & pursuing my photography career. I love my driving gig now, & might just stick with this career from here on out. All my family & some of my best friends are a thousand miles away. I have made friends here that are irreplaceable & would hate to say goodbye, but I can't cope with this bitter feeling inside that has been consuming me slowly the past year. I am just now getting my life together with something good that I might not be able to get back in MN. With the economy being dumpy, I might not be able to get a minimum wage job in Faribault. Last thing I wanna do is put myself in that position again. Maybe I'm just in fear of being in a position to where I can't just get up & go when I please, I don't like being held down & having to stay in one place for too long, & I have been in CO to long to be able to withhold this feeling anymore. I know eventually this will pass, & I will forget about it. Right now though I just can't get it shaken out of my head. Financially I would be better off not only in the long run, but in now as well. Keeping in mind all the work it took to get out here, would be just as much, or not more to go back. Now that I have a life here I can't imagine going back to the life I had before of jumping around place to place. This freebird is no more & will not be for a long time, but hey it could always be worse. I am greatfull for what I have here. I have worked too hard to just let it go & start a new. When the time comes I will try to continue my life back in Minnesota, I just need to be patient. Realistically though, that might not be for another ten years, & the thought of that kills me. I chose this road & I must play the cards I dealt, & when the game is done... I'm gonna take the money & run....
We'll get you hooked up with a car stereo from crutchfield - when you can afford better, you can get a retro super duper radio. For now, save save save. Then you can do and go where you please!
It'll also be better when you get some regular hours at work and are not doing the crazy schedule any more. When you can grab a flight any time you please to visit family, you'll think differently on your separation.
