Second Guessing
I seem to be in this place where I keep second guessing my feelings and decisions.
Maybe its because I am so floored by this vast expanse of the unknown that is before me. As of June the only things I know is my address and my friends. But job, future, future addresses??? Not a clue. Not even a hint.
The latest thing - Vancouver is becoming too expensive to live in. The news has been saying that the average house in the Lower Mainland, right now, is $700,000 - and by 2010 it will be $1.4 million. How the hell am I ever going to be able to afford to stay here and have the life style I want?
So, I need to start thinking. Should I actually stay in Vancouver?!?! If I was going to move and settle elsewhere, now would be the time to do it because I am at a cross-roads anyhow. But I love living in Vancouver. I love my life here. I love being close to my family, walking on the beach, shopping on 4th, Main and Commercial, playing beach volleyball, watching English Bay at sunset.
And if I were going to take a chance and move again, where would I go? What other city would offer me what I am looking for? I know that I don't want to leave North America again. Not permenantly at least.
My other HUGE concern right now is that a lot of people are giving me feedback that my salary expectations are too high. And I just don't get that, because if I went back to where I was I would be earning a good salary. And at that point people were telling me I could be earning a lot more. So which is it?!?!?
Oh well, off to do some readings... and of course to ponder a little more. At this point I am feeling so distracted by the finish line and what's beyond... its hard to focus on what's at hand right now.
