Considering that within the next few months I'll be leaving for St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec to begin my Basic Training to become a member of the Canadian Forces, I've often found myself coming to the realisation that, in just a few short months, I'll soon be leaving my home behind and finally beginning my own life. After I've left home – a home in which I've lived since I was born – my time living here will nearly be at an end. I'll still be returning home for a short period after I've finished my Basic Training, but once I've left to take my course at the the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering (CFSATE) in Borden, Ontario, graduated, and have begun my career, I'll be making my final move from home to my own place wherever it is I'm posted.
That being said, lately I've found that I am much more inclined to spend more of my spare time out and about when the monotony of my indoor life gets the better of me. I've been going for more walks lately and find myself taking routes I haven't taken in quite a long while; I want to take in sights and once-familiar places as much as I possibly can because, to be honest, I may not see some of them again until years in the future if ever. I guess I'm just incredibly sentimental sometimes, not to mention nostalgic. I've even been taking my digital camera out with me when I go out so that I can take pictures of some of my favourite places and sights around my neighbourhood.
As much as I'm excited to get on with my life and get the hell out of this place and away from some of it's people – people who had made growing up hell for me with their constant slandering and foolishness (I still can't figure out how Kevin and I managed to start a brush fire while he was working and I was sound asleep in my bed) – I can honestly say I'm going to miss being here, too. This is the only place I've ever lived; nearly every good memory I have has taken place here. So when the day comes that I will be leaving, it will definitely be a sad day, but only for a day; there is so to do, and to see, and to experience in the future!
