Florida and the Psychiatrist

[unico_love]

My mother wants to move to Florida. She's wanted to do this for years, but now she wants to do it within the next couple of years and sell the businesses. I used to say I would never live in the south because, except for Disney World, I hated it (not that I've been anywhere in the south other than Florida, I just didn't like the fact that it doesn't snow and things like that). However, now I don't hate it *quite* so much. I am not the kind of person that really has a favorite season or climate or anything, but the south did not appeal to me. It's not that it really appeals to me so much now, but I do not find the idea of living there abhorrent anymore. I used to say I wouldn't mind living in Glen Ellyn for the rest of my life. It's very nice in some respects, I like the drastic changes in the seasons, and the town is pretty. However, my high school was gorgeous (a castle on a hill next to a lake surrounded by multi-million dollar homes (no, we are not rich, but we are surrounded by yuppies that like to pretend they are rich and drive themselves into huge amounts of debt for the sake of image)) and that didn't make me want to stay in it any longer than I needed. I'm sick of Illinois. I don't really have any friends here that I can really relate to well. And the three that do live in my area all go to the same college in Wisconsin 9 months out of the year (Beloit College). And two of those three I do not have much in common with anymore, anyways.

My mother was looking at the Florida Keys, but, thankfully, decided that's too expensive. I wouldn't want to live that far away from everything, so I'm glad my mom can't afford it. I would much rather live near Disney World and get annual passes:-) Considering I hope to never live on my own, unless something else comes up, I expect to be moving with her. While I am rather needy emotionally (I need people that I care about nearby), living completely on my own would never work out. I'm too ditzy and isolated from objective reality if I am not around at least 1 other person. I really hope I don't live to be really old and turn into one of those elderly people that lives by themselves for 20+ years waiting to die.

Ideally, of the few places I have visited, I would live in Bethesda, Maryland. Or at least the Washington DC area.
I would not like to live there, however, unless I was making a significant amount of money. It is very expensive. I love the cherry-blossom trees, though^_^

On another note, I see a new psychiatrist tomorrow after my psychology class at the community college. He's young and he was ranked first in all of his residency programs. He actually shares the same office as my psychologist. If he doesn't think he can help me or he says something stupid about me (which most of them do) then we will move on to another.

You mean you might be leaving me soon :(. That kinda depresses me since I have few friends in Illinois now as it is. Oh, well. Hopefully, I'll get to hang out with you quite a bit before you move and maybe I'll even be able to visit you in Florida! Geez, my brain is really not wanting to cooperate today. I'll talk to you later.

But you might be moving to Colorado after you graduate, so you'd still be far away... Also, you and I can't drive to see each other@_@ Phil's the only one capable/comfortable driving... But we might not move for awhile yet, anyways. And it would be great for you to visit no matter what^_^
