Major Life Changes

As a teenager you never really truly imagine how drastically life is going to hit you. You understand that you'll get a job, move out, meet someone, have a kid, get a better job, and so on. Despite how much I knew it was going to be different, that didn't prepare me for it like I hoped. Today is the sixth day into 2019 for me. This is going to be a huge year, a year of sudden change.
My big plan that is currently in action is to move to California and with my new job and my six friends who are coming with me, it's huge. My closest, best est friends are all living together right now and it's kind of mess, but we're working through things. We all have jobs and are saving money. We plan to sell the furniture and our guitar stuff and whatever we can. I'm also planning on transferring if possible, so I have a job over in California right away. We're renting a space that isn't that expensive because of how many people will be contributing. I want to enact change over there.

I've always had a sense of doing better, helping, encouraging. There's so much hurt in the world and I've always wanted to put a bit of it back together and do my best to change lives for the better. I love playing guitar and I want to join a band and just play my heart out. It doesn't have to get big or anything, just enough to keep me happy. I and all my friends have goals for doing better and I'm proud of all of them. I'm looking around the room and can see potential in every one of my friends. We all have goals and dreams, and we're all set on achieving them. We're a goofy group of teens who just like having fun and good music.

Now if that wasn't enough of an experience to be on the way, I just found out my parents are moving to Florida and my dad is looking for a job there. I've always had my parents around me, and they were part of my plan b if California doesn't work, I've lived with them off and on since I turned 18, and they've been there for my brother and sister who are 23 and 30 years old. I'm only 20 rights now. Soon my only connection to this state will be it's where I grew up and I'll be leaving a lot of super cool people behind, someone my closest friends that have other goals in Minnesota. I'll for sure be back to see them at times since a few of them are starting lives with children and good jobs. The amount of sudden change that is coming to my life is enough to freak my out at my core. It's a lot to handle and deal with. I won't have my parents to rely on anymore. It's a bit scary but I have enough self-confidence. I can do this and I can do it with my friends. It's going to work as long as we try our best and stick together. Either way, my life from now on is going to be radically different. -J. Mitchell
