the road don't go forever so Ride it while it lasts

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned that I had some plans but it was not yet time to share....

Well count your lucky stars because it's tiiime.


Monday afternoon I quit my job.

This was a very difficult decision. I had been chewing over these plans for three months but as usual doubts filled my head. I like my job, it's a career with promise to be sure.

But it's not enough

I need adventure. I need to fullfill dreams I have had for a long long time ...

So in July I will packing everything I own into my car and driving out west. My best friend Valcano will be flying home for a visit and  then together we will embark on the most epic road trip known to (wo)man. We'll be camping along the way and stopping to see a few friends.

I honestly CANNOT even begin to explain how excited I am for this. I have always always always wanted to see the entire country-I always thought I would do it one day via train, however THIS is a kajillion times better no? Blaring some Trampled by Turtles, Devil Makes 3 and Blind Melon, smoking by day and drinking by night with my bestie. What more could a girl ask for?

So what am I going to do once I'm in Vancouver you ask?

Doesn't matter. But I will be surrounded by mountains, ocean and most importantly-friends.

The view in my head goes a little something like this:

Wreck beach, Lovely Lady L, lions den, N-Raz and T, Tofino and surfing,Valcano, Climbing trees and singing Damo, Shambles Soup, Whistler, Stanley Park, EVERYONE ELSE, Grouse Grind, work, save, and then come January...JET SET LIFE.

At the moment I'm planning on Thailand, but that is completely up in the air. All that matters is being in a beautiful climate, getting my hands dirty and helping people. Changing the world one smile at a time.

You might be getting sick of this ...but....Thank you ex.
Without you the world would be missing me. And I have so much to give.

Like taking a bullet

This weekend I discovered, that at some point I murdered my shoulder angel. I won't get into the details, but I acted on every impulse I had. I threw caution to the wind, went "balls to the walls" and lived.

Upon reflection, the series of increasingly hilarious and poor decisisons started after a mutual friend told me that EX was in a relationship. That was like taking a bullet. Today it will be 3 months since we broke up, 3 months after 6 years. What a way to rebound!
I felt terrible for half a minute, trying desperately to swallow this information. And then I started laughing! He said he wanted a different life, but instead just swapped people and kept the same life. I on the other hand have been having wild crazy awesome times running amok and behaving for the first time in my life as a man would.

This little tidbid should have sent me plummeting into a depression that wiped my self esteem off the face of the planet. However later that night I went to a club in jeans, an oversized sweater and loafers, soaked from the rain and still managed to grab the attention of a super cute guy without even trying.

With every new sunrise and every new bit of information I am increasinlgy thankful that my life has gone in the direction that it has. I am 100% positive that the Universe is unfolding as it should and therefore I am at peace because I KNOW that something great is coming my way.

This was my theme song from this past weekend, and now life.
