Recently I have been living in motels, friends couch, car, etc.
It has been a challenge to work on the RV, take care of a tiny kitten, and keep it all together while working toward the goal of hitting the road Oct. 1st.
Now, another challenge comes up.
I have built solid friendships thru the years with many people all over the country, and many here in Colorado.
Because I have been traveling with the seasons for more than 20 years, it has always been a case of Hello-Goodbye. So, even though I have been here for a little over a year...I knew this was never going to be the place I would stay. But, I often would be back in a season or a year, or a few years.
Now, I am very close to living in the RV full time, I am getting attitude from friends.
Seems that some of the male friends thought they were much more than friends and are acting hurt. Ah geez.
What do you say to the ones you will leave behind? This time I know I will not be back. I cannot find anything about the Grand Valley I like.
I know myself well enough to know I cannot be happy living in one place. I know better than to invite anyone to live with me...sooner or later the stress of that will set me off (probably sooner)
How do you say, "I will not be back here again. Keep in touch." Do you just go, with a "see ya" and then avoid contact so as not to have to say the obvious..."I won't be back".
I feel like I have been put on the spot over this. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't want to feel like I am leading anyone on.
