This is the first time I will have lived in the South East. And a good many years since I lived in the south.
So where have the last few years been spent. 3 years I have spent in Wigan now, This allowed me to finish college, have a breakdown and learn about LGBTQ issues, and thus who I am and what my gender is. I have also made some wonderful friends, one who I will be moving very close to, other I will be moving far away from. I am not happy about the second one. It is the first time in my life I have had true friends. And I feel like I am going to lose most of them because I have no way of stopping this inevitable move across country.
So I am going to have to work out how to juggle moving and my friends. I guess the first thing is learn to drive, I have a few months before I move down that way, so I will do my best to try and learn to drive. But getting and maintaining a car is going to be another matter. But still what I will be trying my best to do.
I am also going to try and get some form of a job, I have a year before I can go back to University, even know that is going to be a different place and different course. I am aiming for Sheffield and Nursing, because it feels right to me, and I reckon I could do it as a career for many years, so that is my goal and aim for the next few years.
I guess moving away from stuff, friends and other things that I have built up in this area, will be missed and hard to replace anywhere, but I guess the friends are still there, I will still keep in touch and stuff. But I guess I won't be able to actually see them as often. Part of the reason to learn how to drive so that I can see people. I guess I can always take a train and see Karl every week even if he doesn't like it!
But I will not lose what I have waited and fought so hard for all my life I will make sure I have ways to see all my friends as much as I can.
I am nothing if not determined...
