I’ve come to a decision. I have got to leave Boone. I can’t deny it any longer. I love living in small towns but I HAVE to get out of this place! There is no future here even if I do get my medication aide certification.
There is nothing here for a young person except for a minimum wage slow death. As much as it pains me I have to escape. I might go to Charlotte or Raleigh, I don’t know which.
But I have always been scared of change. I know I’m in a rut but ruts can be familiar and easy to stay in but it will ultimately lead nowhere! Its daunting to move to a new place. You have to make sure that you have a job and a place to stay wait for when you get there. I never take risks or leave anything to chance because it always goes wrong for me.
It might take one year or two, but eventually I will leave this town.
