Its wednesday. T-3 days before I say goodbye to my favorite city in the world! Bellevue, WA!!
Yep - it feels like the end of an era!
Well my boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for over two years, and shockingly we were more comfortable with the arrangement than we should've been! So we figured that one of us needs to move to tighten the knots! -Lol..no I'm kidding ;)
Well, it seemed to be taking forever to get a job that I wanted, a job I'd leave Microsoft for! And then after five months of applying/studying/interviewing/more studying/more interviewing, I went ahead and accepted an offer. And then began the legal procedures, selling furniture, packing, planning...
By the time I got to step back and catch a breath, its already the end of June and I have a week left to really think about all that I'm leaving behind!
Microsoft has been and will always a be a dream for me - even in a world of Google, Facebook and Apple! Microsoft is magnificent, and its a pity really, that I have to leave!
Seattle - wet and gorgeous! Makes you fall in love! The smell of rain - becomes a part of you! The one place you need to have lived to know how wonderful it really is - its where I met some of the most interesting people I have and will know for a long time. The last one year has been everything and more, than I'd anticipated my life in a quaint city like this to be! The mad parties, the insane games, the love, the friendships - the one place we could all be ourselves to the point we'd lost the idea of boundaries! We became so close, talked about anything under the sun, acquired new tastes, picked up new habits - we've made a whole ecosystem!
And then there's my life itself - living alone, my own choices, my freedom, my independence - everything I wanted to do, I did my way. Seattle was the first place I realized I could be on my own, and take the weight of anyone that needed me! The lone hours I've spent at the waterfront, my thoughts and myself... drive in the whee hours, giving me the confidence to go anywhere I wanted... the lone glasses of wine, sometimes some whiskey... playing my guitar to the new songs on the radio, sometimes a few classics...
Too many memories, too much pain.
My little life here has given me too much to forget, and now I have a week to soak in all that this city has to give me. Seattle will always have a very special place in my heart.
