Life has not been that great or that horrible here in Reno. I have met lots of interesting people and spent time with several. I am going to miss them and part of me wishes that I were still friends with some of them.

I am completely to blame for one friendship being ruined, most definitely. I regret that one the most. The others were more that people showed their true colors and I just had to walk away. I cannot comprehend the actions of some people, but at the same time it shows me how different we all are and I know that people feel the same about me.

I moved to Reno in 2001 because my life was going nowhere in Tucson. I had debt that I wasn’t paying. I was living in my parents house that was about to be sold. I made about $9/hr and couldn’t do anything with my money but buy fast food, feed my dog and drink tequila. I was given a chance to move to Reno and grow up. I did grow in some sense. I realized how much I loved Cari and was also given a chance to grow the relationship that I would not have done in Tucson. I was able to go to school, earn a degree and get a job where I could apply what I learned in real life. Learn a little bit about the value of a dollar and debt. I love Reno and wish that some things would have gone different for us.

I am very scared, nervous, sad and excited to leave and begin a new life in Tucson. I don’t want to get any notions that things will be the same as they were when I left because I know they won’t be. Friends have moved on and started new relationships. So we will be the outsiders. I am simply tired of living in an apartment and at my desk. I need more in my life, like when I had friends to do things with here. We will be spending a lot of time with family and I need to get to know my father before its too late. He didn’t make a lot of effort when I was a kid but he is still my dad and I know I will completely regret it if I don’t take this chance.
