Dear North Carolina I still remember the night I drove over your border for th first time. I was 21. I thought my time here would be short. Go to school and move home. But you showed me there was more to life. You became my world. You showed me a life I had never imagined least not in a reality I thought was for me. You brought friends into my life that I will have forever. You showed me love when i went through my worst times. You led me to my best fiend and the women I will spend the rest of my life with. You shaped me into the person I am today in a way not many other states could have done. I may be moving on to new adventures but just know that you will forever be one of my favorite places on earth. From your mountains to your waterfalls to the Outer Banks. You filled my life with adventures I’ll never forget and I can never thank you enough. Massachusetts, I’m excited to see what New England has to offer. So far the food and the weather has been amazing.
