I have dealt with moving before; here is my story...
Long before all of this has happened, I had been living a life that is good; I had just started a job for the very first time in my life, as a food service utility worker at Sodexo for ServiceSource. I had so many plans for a good future, which includes hopes of finding a place of my own...
Then, all of a sudden, the pandemic hit, and everything dramatically changed in ways that one would not ever know. I was suddenly furloughed, and as of this writing, I am still on furlough from my job. However, I had gotten word from ServiceSource that things with the pandemic are starting to improve, and that I could be getting right back to work soon, and everything would be alright. On the other hand, waiting for word on getting back to work seems like a very long time, and for me, it has: I have been waiting on this word for over a year now, and all that I really want is to get right back to work.
Meanwhile, while I was waiting on that word to go back to work, the other shoe drops: Last week as I got home from my usual outing, I have received word from my uncle that a lady wants to look at the house, and I know for certain that it could only mean one thing: Once again, we may have to start making plans to move again. Yes, I and my family might be moving from one address to another, and yes it could happen in such a time as this as a pandemic, which we are in right now. I just could not imagine how one such as I could stomach this news, because after all, I have been through this before: My family and I first moved from our old address to a townhouse in Camden-Wyoming, Delaware in the summer of 2014. But then, my uncle's health problems were just too great for us to live there, as I was just started to adjust to living there. But so it was with that that we began to move again, this time to a smaller house in Felton, DE, in the winter of 2016.

During those first couple of years, I started to adjust to life in Felton and then started enjoying all of the wonderful nature that this town brings. I have had so many memories at that house in good old Felton, DE...
But it is now five years later; at that time, I had just received word that I would be going back to work, among other things; I was just in a good and happy mood when suddenly my mood changed after getting that news from my uncle that we might be moving soon after a lady told him that she wants to buy the house. That news just shook me to the core.
And that was also put me in much heartache and depression as before; I just could not know how I could muster all of these things that I have been through in the past 15 months: The pandemic, my furlough, my tussles with my uncle, and now this news that we may be moving. It just somehow got me to the point that I just could not keep my emotions under control, and I could only handle so much. So one Saturday morning, my emotions got so out of control that I had to foolishly take them out on my own uncle, which I did not mean to; then afterward I got into my room and cried for a while...

My emotions have been so very out of whack recently; it is not just because of the pandemic and the fact that we may be moving, it is because of this: My uncle told me one time that one day he and his wife, who happens to be my aunt, are going to be moving to their own place, and that one of these days I have to find a place of my very own to live on my own. I confess that I am scared of living on my own and that once I do, I would never be able to learn what I should do first, or how to manage to be on my own. Yes, that has me scared, and that is also why my emotions have been out of control lately, even though I have tried to keep them under control.
And do you want to know something else? We now have a little over 600,000 deaths in this pandemic, and every single one of those lives could have been saved had it not been for the negligence of a now-former President, who only made it worse by making up crazy lies and telling them that the virus will "one day, like a miracle, it will disappear..." There are people who are still out of work due to this pandemic, and every single one of them could have stayed in their jobs had it not been for the disgusting negligence of a now-former President, who keeps saying that they have the virus under control when it really isn't...
But we have a new President now, and I very much hope and pray to God that he would do a whole lot better than our now-former President, who has put each and every single one of us through pain and suffering throughout this last year...

Meanwhile, it is very well time for me to contemplate on what is going to happen to me and my family in the near future to come...
