A week before I am supposed to be finalising my arrangements for my dream trip to New Zealand, dutchdiamont has announced that she won't be coming with me
( Read more... )
I'd love to go, but I don't have the money for something like that. Every penny I have is to be put aside for 'Equus' on Broadway, in autumn. A group of friends on LJ is going to NZ next year, and I'd love to join them, but I won't have the money then either, I'm sure. *sigh* Maybe some day...
We all have our own pilgrimage to make, I know. For some of us it is the search for Middle-Earth, and for others it's barely legal teenage wizards in the nude. ;)
I have concerns for your friend. Her new BF sounds very controlling. Why wouldn't he let her have this vaycay that she had been looking forward to for so long?
Whatever you do don't not go. You will regret not going but will always be glad you did go, even if you have a lousy time. Go on with your plans.
Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, and I'm not sure she'd like me to spill the details on LJ. Suffice to say that I do see his point, though I am still royally pissed.
I am still going, no matter what. It's just that going alone will be more expensive, and requires a lot more planning.
This is terrable news for you I hope you can still go all my money is going for Eqqus in the autumn so I know how it is. I have been saving forever it seems.
The same thing happened to me right before I graduated high school. I was planning a trip to Europe with some friends and they all bailed on me about a month before we were set to go. So I said, FUCK IT. This is a my trip. I worked hard for it, I deserve it, I'm going. And I had the best trip of my life.
The things that I saw were amazing, the places awesome, the people wonderful. But the best thing that happened was that I got to know myself. That time alone with my thoughts (or my words in my journal) allowed me to really get in touch with myself and my spirituality so that the trip became a journey of spiritual, emotional and mental growth.
Besides, you don't have to compromise or do things you're not interested in. Just fly by the seat of your pants.
Doesn't sound so aweful, right?
ps. If I had the cash, I'd be right there with you.
I do see what you mean. My collegues told me so as well. It's just that, what with my poor social skills, I'm afraid I may end up closing myself off completely to other people, with no one beside me to 'integrate' me.
I will still go, though. No one is taking my dream from me!
