I did that somewhat when I moved to Cincinnati from Lexington. I like it because I still have friends there and can go see them when I want, but I feel like I can be my own person more, and that I'm not just a sum of peoples collected thoughts about me. Although I do have friends here now, we don't go way back, so their thoughts of me are based on my actions, not on how they have viewed me for many years and from any sort of deep understanding of me. Not that the people who have known me for a long time have any bad thoughts about me; they all like me and love when I come back to visit. I just enjoy feeling like there is a part of me that is only for me, and that the people around me never fully known me.
I know, I'm weird.
After saying this, my next statement will seem illogical: I'm moving back. We are going to live with my mom for a bit so that we can all get out of some debt, as well as fix my mom's house up, because it's falling apart around her.
(Yes, RdTv and DisgruntledYouth, if you are reading this, it is true. See you guys soon.)
