I am not really good at showing or talking about my deep feelings so this sucks…..
A very emotional time for me was when I moved back to Virginia from Florida. I was fourteen at the time. I was too old not to care and too old too cry. Florida was my home; My everything. When I left, I left behind my best friends, my memories and major opportunities. Words can not describe the frustration, the anger and the sadness I was feeling. There was no way of ever getting my Florida life back.
The day I left Florida was a Tuesday in July. We spent all day packing and shopping. It was hectic. I was dragging my feet all day and not cooperating whatsoever with my mom to get stuff done. I wanted to spend my last day with my best friends Evony and Bianca, but they were in Palm Beach visiting family. Stephanie was in Colombia and Richie was at work. I was so lonely. I had no one to talk to and no one to joke around with about the crazy school year we had, or to talk about how much we meant to each other. The phone wouldn’t stop ringing with people calling me telling me good-bye. But I didn’t care about those people. They weren’t the people I was going to miss. A few hours later, I would be packed up and gone.
Do you have any idea what I missed/missing out on? I’m missing out on the most “gangster” school in South Florida: Fort Pierce Central. They are known for their sports. They are also known for their band, blackness and their teachers. If I were to go there, I would have graduated a year and a half early with honors AND an associates degree. FPC is DEFINITELY more school spirited and crunk than CHS. You know what else? I missed out on a number of famous people, concerts, trips to Disney World and other water parks, my friends’ birthday parties, my godson’s birth and seeing my best friends everyday.If you still don’t understand why I was so upset, think of this:You are in a place that is real nice.(Florida) It is just the right temperature and no snow. It is real pretty. Everyone wears bathing suits all year around. There are fun things to do all around you. There are huge malls and REAL people. In school, you don’t have to try to fit in. Everyone just loves you even though you are loud, obnoxious and clueless at times. When you miss school, everyone misses you. Everyone looks out for you and they appreciate you when you do something for them. Your friends are so loyal and they treat you just like family. They invite you to their cookouts even though their family doesn’t speak English and their food is off the chain! Just think about it. And if you can’t relate, picture yourself leaving home and you don’t know whether you would ever see it again.
Once we were packed and pulling out of the driveway, I was crying. I was going to miss all of the loveliness in my life. I am reminded of it everyday when Evony calls me and tells me about everything that is going on. I’m missing out on EVERYTHING. My mom didn’t understand why I was so upset and she still doesn’t. I mean, why should I be upset when I’m back to where I grew up and have all my friends and family? Well, in two years, I had made Florida my home. Evony became not only my best friend, but my rode dog, my sister, my motivation, my better half.
People always say, “When one door shuts, another one opens,” Me leaving Florida was a blessing in disguise. I never wanted my “Flawda Experience” to end. Hopefully, I will have it back one day.

Missing the Flawda lifestyle (revised)

(Ew, no offense to my colorful people.)I guess I was just not ready to leave.
Even though I left Florida, I am happy to be back in Charlottesville with my lovely life long friends. I am happy to be at CHS and I am happy that I took my trip to Norway. (Their chocolate was bangin’)Charlottesville needs a Wal-Mart….a better and bigger Wal-Mart. (with everyday low prices) haha.You know what else I miss? The candy painted cars, the delicious food, boys with dreads who be rocking the gold grills…..Sexiness.
