Recommended: A reflection about decision making

It was then decided! My family would finally be moving away! I know usually some people are depressed about moving, but not me. I couldn’t wait I hated this broken down town. Everyone was stubborn and no one liked each other. It wasn’t the happy small town that everyone expected. Sure I would miss some of the friends I made but I’m sure ill make more in such as big town as were my family will be residing in the maximum of 3 more days.
It was all suddenly decided; my father’s job required him to move. He came home with the news just a few minutes ago actually. I remember us all breathing a sigh of relief. Goodbye you horrible town that everyone neglects!
My mother had already proceeded to start packing. This was on such a sudden notice, even then however we were all very excited to get out of here. By the day afterwards, movers were already here making the neighbor hood very lively. All we could here was chatter from everyone gasping that we were moving. No one ever moved from Burk, we’ve been the firsts for a while. However, since no one really cared about anyone but himself, they all left without a sound but still with a look of shock.
By evening of that day we were all driving our way to the new town we now belonged in. I know it may seem like such a quick transition. There just wasn’t much to say about the old town. It was boring. I didn’t have any true friends there so there weren’t really any big and sorrowful goodbyes. They were all rather jealous that I was getting out of there.
The drive was long and dull while driving out of the city, but when we reached the outskirts of town everything was different. Is this really what I missed out on? All of this nature, the animals, and the peoples smiling and cheerful gestures, w...

...lready nearing nine! I decided to venture the upstairs hallway hoping that they were misplaced somewhere. I received no luck. Stumped, I sat down trying to think of where they would be. I went to look for my suitcase. I had packed two extra outfits incase stuff like this happened. Which it always did, I guess I’m just that unfortunate.
After preparing everything for the next day, I settled myself in my bed. I’m glad everything went so smoothly with the movers, well except my clothes. The bed however was here and that was seriously all that mattered. I can live off of just my bed, my earphones, and anime and survive happily. Well I guess I’d need food. Hmm, I could order Usui to cook me food always! Ha-ha! It was planned. I just now need a lovely desolated resort island, usui, and ramen! That would be the life!
With that I feel asleep with a happy smile on my face.

  • Personal Narrative: An Outsider In My Family

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    There were people at my house going through my family’s belongings telling me what was worth keeping and what wasn’t. I felt like I couldn’t have my own opinion and if I shared my opinions, I would instantly be looked down on. I was in charge of my own things and had little to no say in anything else that happened. I wasn’t even allowed to go into my mom’s room to collect things that were special to her. I couldn’t even grab items of hers that would have comforted me while I was grieving. You could feel the tension throughout the whole house as we got closer and closer to getting everything packed up. We were all mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. Those emotions stuck around as we were welcomed into our new home. My siblings and I were introduced to new rules at our house and they were nothing like what we were used to. We had to eat as a family which was a new concept to us. We came from a divorced household where my mom was almost never home for dinner because she was working to support her kids. We were expected to get along and communicate with each other. I never felt connected to my legal guardians and that made simple tasks such as communicating, incredibly difficult. People were so happy about the situation and I didn’t understand why. I remember seeing the church bulletin announcing, “The Fruits family has grown by three! Welcome Michael, Sarah, and Rachel to the family”.

The breeze that was not restricted by car windows, the heat that was not reflected by a rooftop or eradicated by air conditioning, the rain that was not repelled by anything more than my poncho, I was one with all of it. As I biked past, I moo'd as loud as I could at the cows in the fields and felt happy doing it. I even occasionally rode in the van when I was tired.
