2013 has been all about change
3 more sleeps in Halifax.. For good? Who knows.. All I know is as sure as I was when I first decided to make the big move, I'm increasingly becoming more nervous and more apathetic by the day it arrives to leave Halifax. The date is set in stone for June 11th, on my sister's birthday of all days. I only told a few close friends, but two weeks notice barely gives me even enough time for myself in this city. God, it's funny looking back at how much I've grown here in Halifax even though the learning never stops. When I first moved here, it took me a year to even get comfortable. And within 5 years, I wanted to get the fuck out. I've talked about it for years now and up 'til last summer have seriously been considering it. Now here I am 11 years later still in Halifax and within a matter of days, fly away with no idea when or if I'm ever coming back. I got a one-way ticket, so in part.. I feel like my family is shipping me away for good, but I bet once I'm in Cow Town, it's going to be different than what they or I even pictured.
My parents are talking to me right now, half-joking telling me to make big bucks and buy them a Lexus (yeah ok, I'll get right on that). What they don't realize is for once, I'm doing this for me not them, so they don't need to over anticipate any sort of success that this may or may not stem for me. Life has a funny way of working or kicking your ass into gear. I think for the next while, I gotta do something I don't like where I don't wanna be to be able to do what I like where I want to be.
