Part 1
For the longest time, I had a plan for my life. It was organized and I had a timeline and i even left room for "...Life". You know, like when things out of your control just tend to happen. I had everything together. I even helped plan my high school prom. That was way back in 2007 but I still think about it sometimes. I didn't even get to go the prom that i helped plan out. I had to move, 3 months before i graduated, to a whole new state; and this wasn't the first time I had to move to a new state just before an important event. The first time we relocated, i was 12 and had to miss my best friend's birthday party. It really sucked.
Having to relocate again, after I had all my post - high school plans together also sucked. I had been accepted into the college I really wanted, I had an on-the-job training internship lined up that would transition me straight into my chosen profession - which was and still is my passion, I had a good job, and my own place. My grades were good and I had stopped skipping classes ( I straightened up my mistakes without having to get in trouble or be lectured by my mom). I really thought I had it all together and I was quite proud of myself.
The only problem was that I was 17 and my mom got a job promotion that ruined my life. At least, that's how I felt about it at the time.
We moved from the beautiful west coast to the east coast; a place with no beaches AND no mountains - or an hour long drive to find any. A place without palm trees and cacti... a place where it snows sometimes and you need to wear an actual COAT in the winter time. A place where I couldn't understand anyone's accent and everyone made fun of the accent they insisted that I had.
I was miserable. I had 3 months left to graduate and I had to do so with people who, I assumed, had known each other for four years. I was the odd one out. Being an introvert and a secret nerd didn't help either.
I made some acquaintances though. I wasn't a total recluse; but it just wasn't the same...
