<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Ok, so I'm 18 and am getting ready to move across the country for the cliche reasons of wanting to test myself, experience life, leave the small town for a place where I can have a future in my industry of choice, and all your other coming of age movie reasons. As to be expected, my single father isn't happy about this and is guilt tripping me over this. Talking about how he'll die soon, how he has no one in his life, how I'm his world, and so on. As such I feel like a human piece of garbage. But whatever. Another major problem is I'm moving sooner than he thinks. He's expecting a year and a half while I'm looking at a little over a year. I don't know how to bring this up as it is a year away and don't want to blindside someone I love by telling them close to movign date. I'm bad at confrontation. I'm getting better but this is going to lead to more guilt from him about how he's aging and I'm leaving him aloine {Even though he has a lot of family and friends around here}. I don't know quite what I'm asking so sorry. I'm just overwhelmed by guilt and self loathing for wanting to do more than live my father until the day he dies. I know I am being a little selfish and unreasonable wanting to move out so young. But how can I get him to see it's for my happiness without it making it seem like I hate him?
<bot>: Want to move away. Feel like the Devil. Am I? How to tell father without making it seem like I'm leaving because of him?
