Re: confused
So I have been bitching forever about moving to California. I get the green light from my cousin that I can sleep in her extra bedroom job or no job, so I immediately think yes, I'm outta this bitch, but I had this overwhelming need to talk to my parents about it. Even though they can be overprotective, they do give good advice.
I decide to talk to my father first. He's doesn't really give a crap about what i do with my life, so when he says something about me its usually the truth. I give him the scenario, he basically says "I don't care what you do b/c you're grown spiel, but...etc" He brings up the all important point that just because someone offers you a place to stay and is all nice, does not remain that way after you move in with them. and what if you don't find a job, and you're there for 6 months... he's right. Here you have a check coming in every month, paid for car, and health insurance. Life is different with no income coming in. I hate him, b/c when he has something to say about me he's always right.
My mom has been very supportive, surprisingly, no guilt trip, just a few tidbits here and there. Also, she brings up important points. She says, "honey, you're going to leave soon. Just buy another plane ticket as soon as you come back so you can be prepared for another round of interviews, just in case someone calls." Dammit. More good advice.
I'm still stressed out, but I am also realizing every day how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life to get me through this, my parents (who have been surprisingly guiding forces), and friends. This includes you too pollers.
