"Take my hand and we'll conquer them all."

So, I've been a bit hesitant to say anything on social media websites for a few days now. I've got some exciting news, but I get paranoid with the people that like to stalk me. A lot of times I want to post things but I don't because of potential people who could see it. I'm at the point right now where I could care less anymore. If someone wants to take the time to look me up and update themselves on my life then that's fine. Let them judge and talk, it doesn't matter to me.
I'm hesitant to say things because I know people are going to judge; especially given the situation.
I'm taking a risk. A very big risk that I'm not 100% sure is going to work out in my favor. What's a little risk without a potential reward? I'm feeling good about my decision and it was a mutual decision that was made. I'm going to remain positive and work for it.
On August 4th, Kryss and I will be packing up the car and heading back to Syracuse, New York. We're going to stay with my parents for a few months until we can save up enough to move on our own. We both want to get to New York City and feel it's in our best interest to at least make the journey closer to the city and transition from Texas to New York. Kryss came to me with this idea after a few days of being sad missing my parents. He's not doing this just for me; he wants to get out of Texas and he wants to eventually live in New York. He's ready to take a big step and leave home and become more independent. I'm just excited I'm able to take this step with him.
I'm feeling confident. Since we started seeing each other, we've been there for each other through it all. We both realize we've got dreams and goals we'd like to reach one day and we both push each other closer to those goals. We support one another and want the best for each other. We're both willing to help one another in any way to help each other reach our goals.
So, we both gave our two weeks notice to work, told his family and I told my father. I haven't told my mother, though. She texts me a few times a week telling me she misses me and can't wait for me to visit. I don't want to tell her, I'd rather just show up on her door one day and surprise her. It's been the hardest thing ever not telling her. I call her almost every day before work and it's been so hard not slipping and mentioning how many days are left living here or how badly I want to just leave work and not show up. I can't wait until she finally knows and I can fill her in on everything.
Another exciting part of this whole adventure is the planning out we're doing. We are currently planning the route and researching cities nearby to stop at. Luckily, we're both huge nerds and love abandoned areas and hope to find some amazing sites. I can't wait to take some pictures along the way and hopefully get some nice abandoned, creepy pictures from this trip. We're both researching places and every time we come to something along the way, we both freak out and it makes us that more excited to leave. We plan to stop into the city when we get to New York and neither of us have been there in awhile. I can't wait to be surrounded by the city life again.
I'm excited for this new adventure in my life. I'm thankful I'm able to do it with someone I've grown to adore more and more every day. I know people may think this is happening so fast, but it all feels right. I'm ready to take a risk, it may end up being the best decision I've made. I'm thankful to the people we've told that have been nothing short of supportive this whole time.
Let's hope this next week will fly by, I'm growing so anxious.
