It’s closing in on 1:00 AM and I can’t sleep. My mind is traveling
at 100 MPH as I am going over this weekend’s conversations with Joe. As a
whole, the weekend was wonderful. All of my time spent with Joe is special
because I get to exhale and truly be “me”. It’s a real escape from prison
because I do not have to go over all the things that are happening here on a
daily basis.
We talk about life, our friends, and help each other get clarity
on so many things. He is a true friend. At the same time, he is the one person
in my life who is able to successfully call me out on my shit and dig deep
within my conscious mind.
A main topic of conversation was the idea of me being released and
moving in with him in Boston. I have been going back and forth on this because
we are polar opposites in every way. It could be very challenging for us both.
I also do not want to insert myself into his well designed bachelorhood. After
much consideration, I had decided that rather than moving in with him, it would
be best for me to rent a room somewhere close to him in Boston when I
eventually get out. Surprisingly, Joe raised some good arguments as to why that
would not be the best idea. In the end, the final decision was for me to move
in with him as a starting point. Boston will be a big, new city to me and it
will allow me the time to get acclimated and adjusted. Of course there will be
more conversations about expectations on both ends, but I am so appreciative
that he would even do this for me.
Since there are five years remaining until then though, he and I
both know that things are subject to change. I may meet a wonderful guy and
fall in love. And that man may not be able (or willing) to relocate to Boston.
Should that happen, I would have to change everything up. Who knows? Another
variable would be the health of my family members. Should one of them become
ill, I would of course need to relocate to a location such as San Francisco to
support them. But for now, the tentative
plan is to relocate to Boston and begin my new life at Joe’s home in beautiful
Mission Hill.
