INFO AND SUCH
I can't thank you all enough for your kind words and support, ya'll are wonderful.
------------------
To answer Sarah's and EE's questions...
I'm moving to Baltimore to get my masters degree in music composition from Johns Hopkins University. The music school there is at a decentralized campus, called the Peabody Institute. It is one of the best music schools in the country, and most of my professors commute and also teach at Juliard. Pretty badass.
After I get my degree? I'm not entirely sure. I plan to move home, but that's 2 years away, and who knows what will have happened in my life by then. My home was a joint venture with my parents, and they want/need their money back out of it, so the house will be sold soon. As sad as I am about that, I'm going to be making A LOT of money on the deal... so that should go towards a nice down payment on a new home after I graduate. *big grin*
The idea of earning a doctoral degree has entered my mind (because let's face it, I really want people to have to call me Dr. M_____), but that's going to depend. If I'm single and unattached. If I can find a cheap program, or earn an assistantship. If I really think it will help my career. We'll see... It would be nice to have a doctorate at 26 years old, and no debt.
------------------
I drove to Baltimore from Kansas City today. I'm in a hotel tonight, and will move all my shit in tomorrow. The drive was a brutal 17 hours... starting at 8:30 AM... but it could have been worse. My dad left at 3 AM with the big trailer and got here at the EXACT same time as me, so he drove, by himself, for 22 hours straight. He's a beast.
------------------
After my realization that I'm worth more than the bullshit K provides, I spent a little time with my one ex that I'm still good friends with last night. It was UNBELIEVABLE to see the difference in communication (from someone 5 years K's junior). She could sense that I was sad and wanted to talk it out, and simply said, "you can talk to me... you don't have to, but you can." Those words would never have come out of K's mouth.
So I talked with her about it. She cared about my feelings enough to hear about my situation with another woman, and was very grown up and helpful about it. She told me about her new dating partners, too. She's going to make some guy really lucky.
She spent the night (nothing happened, I'm not a prick), and it just felt nice. No drama, no unsureness, just nice - to sleep next to someone who has your best interest at heart.... it's been a while. Perhaps there is a future there if I come home... but for now, she's an awesome friend.
I can't thank you all enough for your kind words and support, ya'll are wonderful.

The drive sounds *brutal*, your dad ROCKS!
You have some amazing goals for yourself. Whatever you decide to do you will excel because you have the heart to do so. I can tell. :)
What you said about your ex, it's really great you can identify a healthy relationship from one that is not. Because of it, you will find 'her', that special someone that clicks in ALL ways important.
*hugs* you!
Distance driving is brutal- go you for doing it- I am such the wuss for splitting it up!
You have a great plan for the future- I admire that. You are so damn together. Go you and I know success is in your future!
Ok, I'm a bit confused... You said something about a future one day if you go home...(I know those weren't your exact words)... But where is your ex gf? In Baltimore or in KC???
