We found a house! Holy fuck! We found a house!
Okay, we're just renting, but this move back to Charlotte is getting more and more real by the day. Yesterday I packed pretty much everything that is not being used in the living room, which includes four boxes of DVDs/Blurays. Yes, we have a problem.
I've had to return to Charlotte twice in the last three weeks to find our future home and everyone there is welcoming us back with open arms! It's comforting and scary all at the same time. I was even roped into working one night while I was back. It was surreal. People were welcoming me back, asking if I was back permanently, trying to book me for more work the following week. At the time, I still had about two months before I was supposed to move!
I'm still not able to be fully comfortable with the move. I'm trying to relish my time in Brooklyn before I'm permanently in Charlotte. I felt like my time as a Brooklynite was already being taken away from me. Brooklyn has been my home for the past 5 years. I love it here! I want to make the best of every day I have left. So much of my time is already being taken by packing and preparing for the move, please don't take more of it away from me!
I know I sound like a shitty asshole complaining about people being happy to have me back in Charlotte. I'm grateful! I truly am! Having all of my friends welcome me home is definitely going to make my transition back to Charlotte that much easier. Just let me have my binkie. Let me hold onto it for just a bit longer. In five weeks, you can take it away and put it in a box in the attic. When I get really sad, just bring it out for a weekend and let me hold it, then it can go back up. But for now, I just want my binkie. I promise to take care of it. I promise not to forget it or leave it behind or let it get dirty (well, any dirtier than it already is...).
