Opportunities usually bring change, and sometimes in order
to progress we have to make sacrifices. It’s my second time moving, and it
feels more stressful than the first, but it also seems to be falling into place
quite easily. The only part I am having a hard time with is giving up Tessie.
When I moved the first time I decided that because of a combination of growing
up in homes where we always had pets, along with being very homesick, I needed
a kitty. I was thrilled when I found Tessie because she was perfect and it all
worked out so quickly. Now she is my cute little friend who talks way too much
but snuggles with me almost every night. Since the only option I have as far as
housing goes doesn’t allow pets, I have to say goodbye to her. It may sound
silly, but it’s not very easy and I wish I could change it. But like I said
before with new opportunity comes sacrifice and although it hurts I know it has
to happen.
In the mean time I will choose to see the positive…living and
learning life day by day. I have amazing family and friends who are there for
me through all of this, through everything. Those people are what make it
possible to look on the brighter side of things, and their love encourages me
to try my hardest in all that I do. Life is full of challenges, and even though
I may be facing some right now I know that I can overcome them and that as I
overcome them I will gain experience and a better understanding of the world
around me. =]
