Reasons to leave
Reasons to stay
Reasons to return
As the poster-boy for constantly moving from place to place trying to find 'home', I've heard just about every reason there is.
You leave home because it's a world you've explored countless times. I know everybody there, and you know everything there is to know about the place. As Julie from FNL said "home shapes you, and teaches you things", but after a while it get's old. No matter how much you love it, it get's tiresome. And if you hate it, then it was getting on your nerves since the day you were born and you want nothing more than to leave.
If you leave home you can start a new life, become someone different, change things and make them how you want them to be. If you've had bad things happen then leaving home is your chance to escape those things and get away and forget they ever happened or the people ever existed.
My one issue has always been that I've no clue where home really is. So I guess it makes sense that I'm a constant wanderer. I go from place to place. This makes sense to me.
As much as it does annoy me having to change things repeatedly, and being away from people I care about the fact is I've yet to find where I belong. Everybody has a place where they belong. I have not found mine. I've tried looking, and I've got the list narrowed down so far. But, for now I know that it is neither Jersey or Georgia. So now, we have to go back to the beginning. The before Georgia-after Jersey beginning.
Perhaps I'm destined to be a wanderer..
Only about 5 or so people knew this was coming. The rest, if any of you read this, probably know why you weren't in the group of people that I told.
I'll come back eventually. I don't know when, but I will(because Katie would kill me if I didn't).
This is farewell for now, New Jersey.
