Living Distant

Distance: an amount of space between two things or people. September 27, 2017. My parents told me that they were THINKING about moving 1,627 miles away this coming summer. To me that was an insane idea. I would be going into my junior year, AKA the hardest year of high school. Everyone would have their “cliques” and friend groups and I would be left on the sidelines. I’ve had the same friends since I was in fifth grade. So leaving them with only two years of high school left was absurd to me. So I pushed the idea aside and simply said no.
