I just had THE opportunity of a lifetime happen.

My mum finally got a hold of some old friends of the family (my old horseback riding instructor, and her family) that we lost touch with and my mum spent the whole day pretty much talking to them. They had moved to BC with their horses and started up a private business selling appliances which, hell, made them very very successful.

My mum mentioned that I was going through a rough time and didn't know where my place was in life. And Liz (the woman) said "Hold on let me call you back". She called back with this:

They offered to have me stay at their place ON VANCOUVER ISLAND to work full time with their company making almost 12 bucks an hour.

This is almost too good to pass up due to my life here, I could start completely over and pretty much have a new life.
I am definitely taking this into consideration and I don't think I'm going to turn this down!!!
Now I have something to look forward to :D:D

You can never get anywhere sitting and thinking about...you have to take a risk and do it for anything to change. At least if it doesnt work out or turn out like you would hope...you will never question yourself to "what if?"
Life sucks and its easy to get caught down in the dumps and stay there by finding a "medium" or comfortable spot...even if you want more for yourself, you go nowhere fast just feeling safe.
I dont know whats going on in your life as I am not online much enough to see, but I think you should go for it....if not for the better you will at least get away and a chance at a clean slate and who knows?!
hope the best for ya and good luck!!

Thanks DM...

I really think I'm going to go through with this.... I thought about it last night just with that I should be a little more selfish and take something that I want to do instead of worrying about if I'll make someone else happy with my decisions.

I'm making the decision today, and giving my two weeks in at EB GAMES tomorrow if it goes through, and I could be gone by next week give or take



:drunk:

Cool! Where abouts on VC Island? I lived out that way as a kid. Might need you to package me up some real Naniamo <sp> bars.

You guys must be cheap up there hey? $12 down here is junior wages where as to you guys its like our $18 an hr...
You got some guts i dont think i could ever move away from my family.
Go for your life and enjoy urself.

I'd go for it. Whats the worst that can happen? You dont like it and come back home?

No more moping around about boys, get out there and show them you dont need them! I believe everything happens for a reason, i'd grab the opportunity while you can. :) Who knows where it will lead you.

Good luck, I hope it works out and that you are happy. :)

Boys are driving me up the wall....

It'll be near the College and U of V... And just think.. I could go swimming in the ocean with my fish :D:D

I'm excited about this... but the only downside is i would be leaving next week...
