strange how things work out it seems...      
 
less than half a year ago, i thought i was finally growing up and starting to figure out what was going on in my life.
 
after spending too damn long looking for a place to live outside of my parents home... i finally found one that was cool... went through a bunch of crap to get it sorted out with the mortgage, bought all new furniture, painted the place, and got it set up.  then i firmed up my job which looked to be my career which provided enough cash as well as my car.  so hey!!  i had it pretty well figured out!  my own place, my own car(s), a decent job, lots of friends and family living close by....
 
wouldn't ya know it though... that same month i got possession of my condo a certain something happens and my entire outlook changes.  now, i plan on selling or renting my place, quitting my job (even though they have offered me more money and less hours), selling my car and leaving the province that has my friends and family.  amazing how doing all this has effected me... even knowing all that i'm leaving behind... i'm happy. 
 
am i completely nuts?.. my friends are starting to think so, my family definitely thinks so and the people at work think i am certifiable. 
 
so what is something that is 'ok' to move for?... a job?  yeah... i know lots of people who will do that... a significant other?... don't see why not.  housing opportunities? hmmm.. maybe not... what do you think?  i know some of you have a pretty good idea why i'm going... you think i'm an idiot?
 
lets have a poll!

I think your nuts....but that because I'll miss you....mind you...I only talk to you online most of the time.  However, i will miss those times when we do get out for lunch ( mainly because you always pay for us).  Or when everyone else ditches me for KP's cottage, and you and I are left behind to work, I will miss driving up north, listening to NOFX and pennywise (thought that only happened once)....still I think you are nuts for leaving everything behind (really Im just jealous cuz I'm stuck)

It's better to do it and know for sure than to forgoe it and wonder for the rest of your life.  No regrets my friend, one way or the other you're doing the right thing; and in the long run you'll have grown from the experience.

I dont think you are an idiot because I dont think there is one sole purpose you are going. Sure, one thing might be really pushing for it to happen now, but I think that its something that youve always considered somewhat as at least a neato idea and now theres just more of a reason to go now. I also dont think that you are an idiot because if you didnt go, youd never know and youd always wonder "what if". 

Its not like moving out there has to be forever if things dont work out.
