It's just not true that you have no support and I know you know that. Your family, even your brother will understand when it's time for them to and you will bring parts of them with you and you'll leave a big  part of yourself behind to be with them and ultimately on this pretty little marble, we are all together ,....

koo-koo-ka-choo

If you play this comment backwards it says " Chig is fed "

,..and Syd is the Eggman in case you were wondering. 

 

P.S. *hug and a thousand butterfly kisses to dry your tears*

No they do support me just not my decision but I know they don't understand yet. Had another tough

phone call yesterday with one of my best friends. It seems that even though I've always told them what I want to do they never thought I would do it. It'll change when I've been for the actual interview and got a result.

I am sorry you are feeling this way.   One of the main focus I have on my life is no regrets.  I don't want to sit back and say I wish I had done this...

I made my first "real" move two years ago from my family, granted it's not even 1/10th as far, its weird being alone, no family and close friends to just walk down the street and see...  Granted my mother pushed me to take this chance and I can always drive home in a day.  

 

Great expectations that have been place upon us from others, we have the choice to let them control our lives.  It's such a release when You start living your life and not somebody elses... Just remember, the only person that holds us back is ourselves.

 

I am sorry you are going through this.   Perhaps talking about planned trips to come back home and visits might start easing the situation more.    Many virtual hugs ((((((((( U ))))))))))

It'll never be the same as family, Dan, but you're the kind of person who has the ability to find "home" wherever you go.  You're different in that way and it's why half your heart's in one nation and the other will always be with your family.

 

Maybe you left a much longer time ago, and you're only just now allowing yourself to feel it.

Facetime can bridge great distances.   A simple 8 gig Ipod will do it for little money and no contracts if folks have internet and wireless network available.

Chig is still hungry.

Lima - I agree about having no regrets. My argument is if I never try then I'll never know and living with that would be forever. I know I have to do this I'm just sorry it hurts. I'm avoiding talking of planned trips back cos if this comes off I've got to get a car, apartment and medical insurance before I can think of saving for anything else.

 

Syd - Thanks and yes I think you're right about my heart being elsewhere for some time.

 

Chig - Believe it or not my brother doesn't have the internet (economic reasons. Things are bad here) Last year we sent each other 60 second videos over mediafire.

Are you planning on moving back to New England?  With the economy, savings can be quiet tough right now, so yes I understand actually avoiding the discussion... I always feel like a shmuck when I tell my father I am going to try to make it home one weekend and then I am unable to do so.   

 

It's all going to work out, just be positive, you will see.  =)  I will hook you up with much music for cheers and  happy thoughts if need be.

Thanks Lima. That Philip Selway CD is brilliant. All musical hookups appreciated.

The beauty of a mobile device is you can take it to where the wireless networks are, like coffee shops.  :-)

I'm happy for you - as strange as that may sound.
