i hope they know

I've realized that I am one of the luckiest people on the face of this planet. I have such amazing friends and a wonderful, supportive family. Moving to London is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done emotionally. And the only part of it that is difficult is leaving my family and friends here. I have the most ridiculous family ever. And I mean that in the best way possible. Because I've realized how much of a crackhead I am myself. ha... Wonder where I got it? Seriously though, I always see my friends in these constant struggles with their families and it makes me so sad. Of course my family has their own issues, but when it comes down to it, we are all best friends and would do anything in the world for each other... Heck, so many people complain about "having" to hang out with their family... but I love it. I choose to hang out with my family when I can. Unfortunately I don't always get to see them as much as I would like, but when we do see each other, nothing has changed.

And I feel the exact same way about my friends. Sometimes I go months without seeing my best friends. It sounds sad and it is, but it isn't out of lack of care...and we always know that. We have that same understanding that even if we don't see each other for a while, that at any point we have each others' backs. Always. Even when I am overseas.

So after all this rambling... I guess all I'm trying to say is that I hope they know.... I hope my family and friends know that me leaving isn't by any means a jab at my love for them. Because this will be one of the hardest things for me to do. But I hope they know how amazing they are. And I hope they know that this is just what I have to do.
