my parents moved out of needham today. out of my “childhood” home today. i say “childhood” because i moved there when i was 13 and moved out age 18.
i do have so many fond memories in this house with my wonderful family and passed some big milestones in my life. i got into berklee in this house. went to prom from this house. i lost friends that were meant to be lost and left behind sh*tty people who needed to be left behind. i hosted parties with friends, classmates, sh*theads. i snuck out countless nights and got into a decent amount of trouble. but the truth is (and its not a secret) that i wasn’t happy in needham, for the entire time that i lived there.
whether this was because of needham or because of me, i’ll never know for sure. but i do know i am a strong happy independent brave woman with so many amazing friends, and this house has played a big part in getting me to who i am.
my parents are moving to ipswich, to live near the beach and buy a boat in preparation for retirement. i am thrilled for my parents in their journey! i think sometimes we forget that our parents are lost souls on the same journey we are all on, just a little older, and expected to show you the way. but they dont know everything. im just lucky that my parents happen to know a whole lot. and lucky that they are buying a boat and will live near the beach!
its very fitting that i am putting needham behind me at roughly the same time that i leave the east coast. when i move to los angeles at the end of august, ill look back and feel some comfort that my parents are entering a new chapter too. i am in a big stage of transition, and i am so ready for it! i cant wait to see what the future holds, and also to keep rooting on my parents, from wherever i am.
support your parents! they need just as much love and support as you do!
