This is it.

So its almost that time. I’m just over one day away from moving from what I call home in Victoria, to my new home, downtown Vancouver. I just finished my degree, finished most of my pre-req’s for CASB, and just found this amazing place overlooking false creek in Yaletown. Steps from the seawall and all of what Yaletown has to offer. 

It’s surreal.

I’ve spent the last couple days getting things organized and I didn’t really realize what I was doing until I started going through every single item in my living space. From posters, old photos, birthday cards, and other memorable items; its something I quickly started to take for granted. This is a huge step in my life. Leaving home, for good. I’ve done this before, but not permanently. It’s different. It’s definitely different… 

I’m thankful.

My parents have been a huge help in everything that I’ve done in the past 4 years. They’ve made everything in my life possible and I owe them everything. I’m not one to show my gratitude in person, but they know I appreciate it. I can’t thank them enough. 

Its sad. 

Leaving everything that I’ve come to know and love about Victoria. The people that know me best, stuck by me over the last 6 years in Victoria, I owe them my sanity. I came to Victoria in grade 11, to a school that was at the time, my seventh school in 11 years, and those people that I met in that first year and whom I still speak with, you are the ones I’m talking about. You really know who your true companions are when you build a relationship that lasts through anything and everything you go through. There are people that I have met along the way, people whom I’ve lost along the way, and people whom have gradually faded out of my life. All those people have taught me many things in my life that I will never forget; some good, some bad. Nonetheless, they are all part of the life experience and should/will be cherished. 

New Beginnings.

My life has been up and down. That much I can say. It has been consistent and predictable. Now however, I feel like that is all about to change. I control my fate now. There is no making mistakes in the real world. In university, you make a mistake, you drop a letter grade. In real life, mistakes can be costly. I need to understand and realize that this is it. There is no turning back without paying a price. I’m going to take advantage of all the opportunities that arise and tackle all the challenges that are thrown my way to the best of my ability. 2 more years and I will be able to do anything. Just two more years… 

My biggest fear.

Losing contact with the people closest to me. As much as it hates me to say this, with a new life comes new people, relationships, and social circles. I would hate to lose the ones that I’ve spent so much time developing. I’m going to do my best for it not to happen but in the back of my head, its almost inevitable. Lets cross our fingers for this one…

This is it. 

I got this.
