Moving Away Is A Hard Thing

by Jason Holliday

Moving away is a hard thing. 

There’s nothing easy about packing up and leaving anywhere you spent the last 11 years in, especially when that place is San Diego.  I don’t have enough suitcases to pack up all of the memories and good times I’ve had.  

I think the hardest part about moving however, is starting a new life with new people, new places, and so on.  Making new friends shouldn’t be a problem, leaving behind old ones will be.  It’s gonna be hard to wake up and see my father every day instead of a hug from my beautiful mother and sister, but that’s life.  

Life takes us in many directions, while God opens doors of us to do better things with our life.  I’ve met so many amazing people and done such amazing things in this life in San Diego that it’s just time to go back where I came from and start over again, make new friends, start my own life, make a new impact.  

People come and go, but memories last forever and it’s these memories I have here that I will lean on and smile about when life gets rough.  

I don’t know if I’ll ever have a home in San Diego ever again, but San Diego will always have a home in me.
