I’m not a big fan of blogs. Lets be honest, they’re self-indulgent. But here we are at my very own blog, Durrty Thoughts. I’ve convinced myself the reason for creating this was to keep family and friends updated with our new life in San Francisco. All the adventures, mishaps, or awkward moments where I’m mistaken as a homosexual will be posted here for you to read. Or skim. Or ignore.
I realize, though, that this blog will probably be more of a coping mechanism for myself. It’s hard to pack your bags and walk away from everything you know, even if that bag is a Louis Vuitton. Yes, I’m excited, but I’m also scared as hell. It’s the same balls-in-my-stomach feeling I experienced on that first day of kindergarten. Different people. Different surroundings. And now different television channels.
Truth is I’ve never lived more than 30 miles away from my parents. I’m used to seeing my Mom and Dad every weekend. If my car broke down, no problem. I could borrow one of the many from my Mom’s fleet of Jeeps. I think being so close in location is partly the reason we’re so close as a family. Another reason was being breast fed until I was fifteen. Lunch period in middle school was often awkward, but I was comfortable. But as I learned on my fifteenth birthday, with tears running down my cheeks, a time will come when you have to step out of your comfort zone and try something different.
With that being said I present to you, as my first blog post, a list of things I will and will not miss about Texas.
