Saying goodbye to many people I love was emotional. I've always been in the same place. I went to college 20 minutes from home. My Los Angeles apartment (a startling 40 miles from mom and dad's) was my first great adventure. My best friend's always been only a stone's throw away if I needed a hug. I am the consummate big fat baby.
But now that I'm here in this quiet moment, in this new place, I am so excited.
