Its the Little Things that Make it Permanent

Ok so I'm officially relocation to SC (that's a whole blog unto itself) but I've been having fits of anxiety this week about what should be a relatively MINOR thing.... RELINQUISHING MY NY DRIVERS LICENSE!!! Yes, I need to switch my insurance, get new place and let my beloved license go. So of all the things that I have done to make this a permanent move, this move right here, is making me ill. The "smiling faces beautiful places" slogan on the license, the weird state logo (which only my cousin would agree looks like a logo for some weird religion - sun and moon), the many colors that I can get plates in, ALL ARE FREAKING ME OUT!! I feel so cool when travelling through the airport and when I flash my ID, people say "a new yorker huh". Will I be so cool with my SC ID (what will they say "a palmetter stater huh"!). No one gives a heck about people from SC outside of thinking that you have peaches and sweet tea rolling out your ears, you drink mint julips for breakfast and secretly have a confederate flag as a comforter!. Maybe I'll hold on to my NY ID until it expires. I'm just not ready to commit on that level!!
