tempesta

To outwards appearances, it appears my life is falling to pieces.

First, there was a massive earthquake that knocked over my place of work and prevented me from getting anywhere near my home and therefore everything I own.
Then, my boyfriend left me to work in another city without a second thought.

Now, considering all that is going on in the world right now. This seems like nothing. But at the time, to me, I couldn't handle it. I'm a pretty emotional person, you see. So all of this was too overwhelming. Not to mention watching people around me grieve for the friends they'd lost. And seeing the face of my hometown change.

But now, I have decided that I am happy all of this has happened.

I mean I ache for all the people who lost their lives in the earthquake. And I wish I had my stuff. And I will miss Shane.

But all of this shitness has actually opened up a bunch of opportunities for me. Since I don't have a job, my mother is going to pay for me to be trained as a production assistant for her radio show - adds an awesome skill to my cv.

And then, the most awesome of all. Visa's permitting, I'm going to move to Scotland for a while. I couldn't do that with a job, and friends who relied on me for rent, or a boyfriend. But now there is really nothing keeping me here, and travelling is something that I have always wanted to do.

So, thank you Universe for taking away the stuff i didn't need, and giving me the opportunity to do something interesting with my life.
