Bittersweet Independence

My best friend once told me that I am intimidating. I was shocked. I had to ask for clarification a few times because I don’t think I am intimidating at all. I’m awkward, easily entertained and fiercely loyal. I’m obsessed with Ed Sheeran and have an insatiable desire to travel. I had no idea why any of those traits made me intimidating. But then I thought about it and I have asked other friends if they understand the comment and agree and quite a few do. I guess the intimidation must come from being independent? That I will speak my mind within reason and that I am 100% myself without any qualms?

No Need for Two Men and a Truck

Late teens. Early twenties. Mid twenties. Late twenties. All prime times to move. A person’s first move from home to a college dorm. Then from a college dorm to a college apartment. One or two moves in between. Then another once college ends and when a job begins. My friends and I are at the stage of life where we move a lot and after spending 10 hours helping a friend move, I’ve got tidbits for those who are about to embark on moves of their own.
