Tick tock, tick tock...

I turned 36 last week. And the clock ticks on.
I have three weeks and one day until I move across the world. Tick, tick, tick...
And yesterday I realized the time here is passing so quickly, and I can't stop that darn clock.
I cried. I wept. I sobbed. Mostly to myself. A little at the pool. (Luckily, water on my face can be seen as just water from the pool) I even cried to my dad, accidentally (he happened to call mid cry) who told me to
"Suck it up, Teresa"
Just for the record. I have been "sucking it up" everyday for nearly five months. I don't believe in crying if you can help it.
And yesterday, I couldn't help it.
Sometimes you just have to cry.
The long list of goodbye's has begun, and I don't like it.
Not one bit.

And I will say "let it flow". It's so nice and refreshing and such a release. You can call me and cry anytime my friend! And yes you have been sucking it up, so now is the time to let the floodgates open!

I have held onto the tears for years. And just recently I have found that when Iactually just let myself cry,I feel a ton better. So you just cry it out honey. And I'll cry with you, cuz I can't believe you are actually moving. Happy for you with this new experience, sad for me. Love you!!!
