New Beginnings
"You don't have to move all the way to chicago honey! , I am sure you can apply for jobs here in new orleans " said my beautiful mother who sometimes gets way too clingy and refuses to accept the fact that her daughter is 23 . I am Blake , a fresh graduate from UNO , ready to join my dream company ,paperplane inc. , as assistant publication manager. My resumé was pretty impressive for a fresh graduate and I got the job with no trouble. I have alot of experience with analysing plotlines and assesing the creditability of the author because of all the training my dad made me go through . My dad always wanted to be a writer but could not go to college since my grandparents could not afford it .He had to let go of his passion for writing to feed his family. Though , he now is a proud owner of a few supermarkets but his heart still yearns for literature .I hate that he couldn't fulfill his dreams and one of the reasons I want to move to another city , away from my family , is to make him proud.
" Yeah mom! I understand you don't want to say good bye but chicago is not on the other side of world ! You can come visit me and I promise I'll call you everyday!!!" , I said while shoving a few things in my suitcase, My flight is in the morning so I have to finish packing by tonight . My mother wipes her tears away and gives me her typical " I am letting you do this because I love you and you're an ungrateful child" smile and I hug her , oh god I am going to miss this so much!!.
I couldn't sleep the entire night because I was overwhelmed with every kind of emotion you could think of . I didn't want to say goodbye to my parents but I can't stay here forever , I have to get out and make a life for myself . Well I guess goodbyes are inevitable but not anticipated.
I got out of the bed at 7 in the morning, I was tired but still excited for my flight . I changed into comfortable leggings and threw a sweatshirt on , tied my hair into a ponytail and left my room to get some food.Breakfast was pretty silent , nobody said a word and we all ate in silence. It was time for me to go , so I said goodbye to my parents and left for the airport . I don't really have friends who would want to come to the airport with me or cry because I was leaving . I only had two people in my life who cared about me and I was grateful for them .
I called a cab since my dad won't let me leave the car if I asked him to drive me to the airport. He wants me to work for my dreams but he doesn't like the idea of me leaving .
I made my way to the plane and fell asleep as soon as my back hit the airplane seat.
