So I'm a little blue today, boys....
For the past few days, actually. It finally just hit me that my friend Elijah is moving away.
To explain, he is biologically a "she". Elijah lives in Alabama with his dad and step-mom. Neither one of them know that he's trans, just that "Alexis is a lesbian", and that itself is problem enough. None of them get along with each other (to the point of abuse from his father), and so now Elijah is finally leaving on a bus tonight to go to Maine to see his girl for a week, and then to live in Colorado. I'm so worried about him. I'm glad he'll only be in Atlanta for 45 minutes, as its such a bad, bad crime-filled city. Then again, if it wasn't 4 hours away, I'd take the car to go sit with him.
I'm so sad, because like I said, it really JUST hit me (more like a slap or sucker punch in the face) that he is leaving. I've known that he's leaving for about a month though. We don't by any means live near eachother, but I feel as if we're neighbors. We talk on AIM, the phone, LiveJournal, Stickam, and/or Skype every day. I knew I could talk to him anytime I wanted (his dad wouldn't let him get a job, even though he was 19... wtf?), because he was almost always online. Now, I'll only be able to talk to him when he can afford to call me. He's only got a 200 minute phone card and about $150 in his wallet. :-S
I worry about him so, so much. He's not one to be weak or anything, in fact he's tougher than he looks. But still. As much as I hate to say it, he's a girl no matter what right now. You know what I'm sayin'.
I guess that's not the only reason why I'm worried... Its the first time he's gonna be on his own. God, I'm so maternal hahaha. Somebody end this entry for me! I'm rambling without showing much emotion. I've cried so, so much this weekend over that boy. I just love him so much. He's one of my best friends, and its bad that its taken me a long time to realize that.
