Salmontations,
Hey all,
So, the big day is coming up. I have most of my stuff packed and now it's just a waiting game. It's really over, isn't it? I mean, this whole college experience. No more waking up at 5AM, no more morning lectures; just work and then go home. I'm glad that I'm moving forward. I left high school during my junior year to get my GED and then started college when I would've been a senior. Can't say that most 19 y/o's have an associates degree, so there's that. I don't know what I'm trying to say here, heh.
I'm trying to make this real. Document how I'm feeling. I give Tacoma a lot of shit, but I'm gonna miss it a little. I've been through two of its winters now, and that has impacted my outlook on it. I've seen everything Ellensburg has to offer, that's why i'm comfortable in it. I feel like I''m at the top of the world when I'm there. To think that I'm going back is bittersweet; to be poetic, ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. I return from whence I came. It makes college feel like a detour. I'm sure that a lot of college students could say the same. To move on, or to move back is this huge philosophical argument in my head. See more of the world or look at the same streets for a while longer.
And of course, I could just move again whenever I want, but I don't know where I want to go. Perhaps I should look at Ellensburg as a Staging area for my life, a comforting valley where I'll always have a home. I can leave it whenever I want, and when I've had my fun, I can come back.
Now that I think of it, Tacoma wasn't any better for me than Ellensburg was, I didn't meet a ton of people, I didn't feel like i was part of any community, it was just same shit, bigger town. Maybe my feelings right now are the same ones I had when I was in high school and I just need to examine things from a distance.
I'm okay.
I've battled to get to this point. I will not let myself down.
What I often fail to recognize is the power of this community i'm in. I enjoy seeing other people passion painted across a digital canvas, I love seeing people come together with a common interest and enjoying a weekend together. I find comfort in that. No matter where I am, the window to this world is on the seat of my lap. I just need to remember that.
I am home, and it's magnificent!
Until next time,
