I just realized that my NC trip (and the yearly mountain trip that ensues) will most likely be my last one. In May, as soon as my sister is wrapped up with school, my parents'll sell our house in NC and then move to Kansas City.

I don't think I'll visit NC without my parents being there, so it's a bit of a sad moment for me. I've lived in San Diego nearly three years now, and it's been a gradual process (I have only a few connections left in NC) ... but it seems everybody I know is growing up and moving on with their lives.

This reminds me of Friends - I spent the past couple of weeks watching an episode or two before going to bed, and I just felt this sadness at the series finale. It wasn't so much my attachment to the characters or the show, but just the feeling of the characters moving onto the next part of their lives; they wouldn't share all those wacky random (and ultimately useless) moments anymore.

Yeah, it does suck when things that were familiar and comfortable seem to disappear. I think most people can relate to that. Just be thankful for what those things were and what they represented, and look forward to the next stage. You'll have plenty of "wacky, random moments" ahead (unless you kill the kid in you, which really is what ages people).

Things aren't necessarily dying -- it's just change. If you don't get comfortable with change now, you're going to struggle for the rest of your life. :/
