Opportunity crouches on the horizon
Its hard to see from here but I can feel it
Is the gamble worth it?
And what of the odds?
This city does not hold much for me as far as work goes.
I can do what? make $15/hr fixing peoples computer problems?
And for how long before any hope of advancement?
Any at all really, with my unfinished education?
An oppourtunity presents itself to me, far away from here.
Far from everyone I love, save a few.
The potential for growth is astronomical though.
That is, if the state of the economy doesn't bite me in the ass.
The thought of giving up everything scares me.
The child in me clings desperately to what it knows.
The adventurer says fuck yeah, lets do this.
Overall I have some serious thinking to do, and it needs to be done soon.
On one hand everyone I know and love whos left Vancouver tells me its the best thing they've ever done.
But if things backfire could it leave me stranded, cold and alone, 1000s of kms away from everything I know and love?
I think I would survive, and do what I can with what I have. But I've never been as far out as this endeavour would take me.
I pray that clarity will come soon, as this ship may sail shortly.
