So... before everyone finds out anyways... I better make a confession.
I'm going to be moving out of Victoria to
Nelson by September.
I'll be honest with you, I've been holding this inside me for... ohhh quite awhile. Me and Taina (my bff who lives in Kaslo) first started to talk about it in like December but it was kind of a joke- like "Oh haha wouldn't it be great if we left our fucked up homes and live in Nelson by ourselves?" At the time of course, there was tons of crap going around with the both of us... but it wasn't really a realistic idea. Then I guess... hm, spring breakish? It came up again, and this time it was more serious and actually plausible- that our moms and us would be moving to Nelson and we'd be going to LVR. My mom's been trying to get me to move to Nelson for the last couple years, she thinks this highschool is all amazing etc for like.. acting? I've kind of just been like "Yeah.. that'd be cool" NOT! Then this whole idea of the 4 of us moving to Nelson was actual a sincere consideration. And it was completely my decision. So for months I left them all hanging (really not my intention, it just you know, moving across the province isn't one of those things you flip a coin for). I hadn't decided really until... May. And I told like, Taina. I didn't even tell my mom until the day I left Kaslo after May Days. My grandparents, aunt and uncle, Mrs.Loukes and Mrs.Heppel all found out a couple weeks ago- wasn't until last night that I told like the bffs.
There's a lot a reasons why. I just typed a few of them but I'm noticing now that if I actually go type more it'll be way more than I want to say, more than people will want to read.. haha. So I won' t bother... maybe I will later but for now I'm just gonna let you guys know the facts. And I'm sure some of you will get to find out more about the reasons in the next month before I leave.
I'll be back for Grade 12 for sure, no way in HELL would I graduate in Nelson. Thats just silly.
I don't really know what else to say. I don't want to leave, I mean I do, but I don't. But making this decision wasn't really about me... it's more about my family. And in the end, thats what it all comes down to. It's no longer important what I want- its more important that I do what I need to for the people I love. I realize this has a possiblity to dent my future and the relationship with my best friends here... but I guess, if my future and my best friends are ment to be, they will be when I come back. Right?
So yeah. Taina, me and our mother dearests will be moving to Nelson (which is a hourish away from Kaslo). I'm going to be visiting like every break, you bet your bottom dollar I am.
K. Excuse me while I go cry.
