A lil something to think about...

I'm leaving for Boston on May 17th and will arrive on May 20th to begin my life there. I can't even explain the excitement that I have inside my head! I just finished saying goodbye to all my Harbor and Olympia friends and family on Friday. I must say it was EXTREMELY hard saying goodbye to Deuce. I know I'll come back for him soon though. One disappointment I have had during this journey is the impact my departure has on other people. I'm at the point now where I feel as if no one even knows or cares that I'm making a GIGANTIC step in my life. Some of the people that I actually truly thought were good friends or close family members have completely blown me off when I try to hang out with them before I leave. Its kinda frustrating because what if I get over there and get shot? Or get robbed and have to live on the street? Or I never come back? Not that any of that is going to happen because I'm a resourceful dude, but what if? I guess I am truly learning who my FRIENDS are and who my associates are. Theres a huge difference between the two! I'm at the point now where I don't really care though. I'm going to make this work, and its very likely that I may never come back here again. I have experienced a lot during my 31 years on this earth and now its time to be me and stop worrying about all the people who SAY they care. There really is truth to the phrase "if your going to talk the talk, you need to walk the walk as well." If you don't care about me or what I'm doing, then don't ACT like you do. I'm a strong enough man to handle the truth. I have made an oath to myself that I will be completely honest at all times. Maybe you should adopt that philosophy too....
