This is my entry to anyone and everyone who wonders why I'm so happy about leaving Wisconsin. Truth is, if I had the chance, the choice, I'd be here with all of you (you know who you are). But the thing is, over the past couple of months, I had to come to terms with my past. I had to stop living in the past. My memories of Audubon were controlling who I was in Pulaski. I love you all, I love those times. I truly wish with all my heart I could go back to those days. I'm pretty sure a lot of you feel that way too. Because, gosh, those were the days. The days that we took for granted. I would give up anything to relive them. But I can't. So, to me Wisconsin is a reminder of what I can't have. Its a reminder of the good ol' days and the days I'll never get back. To me, it just hurts too much. Wisconsin is just full of memories, that's all. So, California looks like my outlet. I'll still talk to you all through SitD and sometimes through the phone. And I hope you all understand that I love you guys so much that sometimes it just hurts to know it'll never be the same. You all have been like a second family to me, and I'll always consider you some of the best friends I'll ever have. So, just know that when I leave here, I'm tearing up inside because I'm leaving you guys too. You guys mean the world to me. I just hope you understand that.♥EM
