It's where I'm from, but it's not where I'm meant to stay

Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

This may have been the state where I grew up, the place where my friends and family live, but it is not where I'm meant to be and for that reason, I'm not sad to leave.

For almost six months now I've been planning to move out of my home state and let me just say as time goes by I feel more at peace and content with my decision.

Which that isn't normally how I am, I don't plan stuff ahead, I stress out and made decisions last minute weighing every single pro and con first. Even after that sometimes I don't even make an actual decision, I just wait until it's made for me or I stress myself out over what could go wrong and just abandon the thought of change.

I am made the decision to move seven hours away from this place I called home for the longest time and I could not be happier about it.

Ever since I moved back to Missouri, I have dealt with extremely toxic and controlling family members and have been kicked down in about every way possible.

Just in these past six months I have went from nearly not having anywhere to live, to losing my car, losing a job I loved, switching to a job I hated, nearly losing my dog, losing two high school friends, selling my soul and working at my families company, been stolen from, and have even had my identity stolen twice, and that's all on top of the health problems I moved back here to deal with.

This past six month has been the worst of my life, but only better things can come next, or that's what I keep telling myself anyway.


I'm moving back to Indiana, not only can I get a fresh start, but I can live in peace without all the toxicity.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
