Alright. Now onto the hard part of the trip.
The last part of the trip is saying goodbye to everyone I have met here, and hoping that I will get visitors, or messages, or calls and FaceTime calls.
This is the part that makes me saddest.
During the time that I have lived in Portland, I have grown, and made my own friends. But, like people all sadly learn at some point in their lives, friends come and go like clouds in the sky. "Change is the only constant"
I would rather pull out my teeth than have any more change at this point!
But I have made some really amazing connections while living in Portland that I intend to keep from the other end of the states. And if that doesn't work out, then I am sure going to a new university will help me too.
Now, on to a small tangent for a second. I don't know if this is how blogs work, but I think I am going to pick Fridays to publish a new blog, that way we can review the week together. Or if there is something happening like traveling, news like the Turkey attacks, or a Timbers game, because to me everything is important. Then I will post on whatever day I feel it is necessary. I think it will take some time, but I will find a consistency.
It is the next day, and I am sitting watching soccer, drinking coffee, water, and eating yogurt with granola and honey peanut butter.
It is nights like last night that make me sad about leaving portland. After the Timbers match, which we sadly lost a horrible 0-1, we went to Mcmenamins and then decided to walk home. We walked through awesome parts of town, and over a bridge which was super fun, because I love seeing the city reflecting up from the water.
But it also made me sad to leave. I am going to miss so much about Portland. It is my hometown. But, my family is still here, which means I will be back as often as possible, and to watch Timbers matches, and blazers games.
What is that cliche saying? "You can take the girl out of her home, but you can't take the home out of the girl"
Until next time...
