Now that I have taken a look at your profile, there's all the more reason to be amused by your finding my Deviant randomly... I was actually booked to fly out to Lethbridge May 26th of this year... I was supposed to move there for school and work...
:iconlonelywurm:
Wow, really? Well, just a hint... it's not really a great place to be. Personally, I'm trying to leave.

But if you're still planning on coming out, the southside's best for work, westside's best for school, northside's best for getting mugged.

The more you know.
:icononyxnightingale:
I was enrolled into the Lethbridge Community College for Business Management. Planning to move to Southside... and luckily, I realized before it was too late that it was a stupid and foolish idea. I was moving for all the wrong reasons (I was looking for some sort of extreme closure after an ex left me, and I felt I needed to move) - and then about 3 weeks before I was scheduled to fly out, after a night of a LOT of drinking, and one of my closest friends putting me in my place, I saw that I was being foolish, and cancelled everything.

lol Yes, really... and everyone is always trying to leave where they have been. I've spent damn near the last 20 years trying to leave the Valley in Nova Scotia, continually planning, and plotting, and scheming... and then suddenly this summer, it finally felt like home, and didn't feel like trying to get out as I had been. Home is where I lay my head - as long as I am happy, and that's all that matters.

Sometimes it takes a while to see those things though, and a lot of the time, it takes leaving to see that... or being drunk and having an honest friend yell at you... which ever comes first (and which ever hopefully happens, it is the least painful and expensive method).

Lethbridge may not be the place for you, but just make sure it's for the right reasons before you end up... oh, I don't know, in my case it would have been the other side of the country, lol, so let's go with that... before you end up on the other side of the country.

Best of luck in all that you do, and I hope you find what you're looking for, whether it be in Lethbridge, or some place else. Just be honest to yourself, and make sure wherever you are, you are home because you are happy, not because it's where you happen to be.

I liked Nova Scotia, while I was there. Admittedly, it was February and I was in grade six, so it's been awhile. Though I'd probably have wanted to leave too, though I've always been a bit of a city kid.

And the right reasons are tough to know. My reasons now are fairly simple: I'm tired of being here, and I want to be somewhere else. Having moved so much as a kid (nine houses, five municipalities/cities/towns, seven schools from kindergarten to graduation, etc.), the sense of impermanence tends to lend itself to a more nomadic lifestyle than most could tolerate. And yet, it's what I prefer.

And it's not just across the country... I'm working on a UK work visa. How's about a trip 'cross the pond for a cuppa, guv'nah?

... that was terrible, and I apologize.

But thank you very much for your advice and well-wishes. It actually does mean quite alot to me... but we'll have to see about the happy part. I know I'm not happy here, so I'm going to have to change something... and location seems like the best bet, for me.

I've never been to Alberta, to be honest. And why Lethbridge? Simply put - young, foolish, and there was a boy involved. Iwasn't in love, but I was hurt, and felt I needed closure... but that's another matter entirely.

I am guessing from the sounds of it your family may be military? I used to be. That's actually how I wound up in Nova Scotia, mind you, I wound up here at age 5, and have been here ever since.

Nova Scotia is quite lovely... and I love it here - now. It took this summer for me to realize that though, and to realize that I wanted to be here. Your reasons for wanting to leave are the same as mine were up until this summer. I was always yearning for something else... something more... something that wasn't this. I had plans to move to Ottawa, and Toronto... I had plans to move to Halifax and Dartmouth... I even had plans to move to Australia, and England. But something always stopped me. Something ALWAYS stopped me, and this drove me insane, but honestly, I couldn't be more thankful now. And now I also realize, that the only thing stopping me from doing all of those things, was myself. It was all my own choice.

I honestly didn't see myself wanting to settle down, or staying in Nova Scotia for that matter... I have always yearned to travel, to see and do, and to experience as much as I possibly can - and I still can do so.

Maybe happiness for you will be in the UK. I was supposed to go there for a week and a half last summer, and there is a world of things to explore there... mind you, everywhere you go is like that if you look at it the right way.

The right reasons are tough to figure out... but honestly, I don't believe in right or wrong exactly. I believe in choices, and as long as you make all of your choices in true honesty to yourself and passionately, the outcome will never be wrong. The bumps in the road are just more of lifes lessons to help show you what it is you want, and desire, and crave in your life. Be passionate in all that you do, or there is nothing at all.

I'm glad you're open to what people have to advise, and suggest. That's a wonderful quality to have, and one, hopefully, you will never loose.

I've added your email, as listed on your dA profile, to my MSN: onyx_nightingale@hotmail.com I hope you don't mind. You seem to be a rather interesting individual.

And on that note, I'm off to continue cruising the channels of dA. Enjoy your evening, and take care. :)
