Thanks for all the fish

Leaving a city you've lived in for 8 years isn't easy. It wasn't that hard either though. The last two years I failed to travel much and instead holed up and focused on school for some insane reason. I wanted to leave two years ago, I came back to do this job, now that it's over I'm gone.

Digital representations of how much of an impact I have made in Seattle and how much I will be missed aside, I know that I'm losing something precious when I leave. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen some of my friends this year, but that didn't change our relationship. There's a geography of comfort in spaces where you have lived and become established, the knowledge of what is out there and how it will effect you, where you can go to get stuff done and people you can turn to. I'm losing that.

Phone, internets, and social websites will keep me connected and all of the good people and friends and community are insurance that I'll be back.
