People always ask me, “Why are you moving to Calgary?” And honestly, sometimes I ask myself that exact question. Why should I go? Why can’t I just stay?
I mean, it would be easier if I just stayed in my little bubble. If I just do what I always do. But, just because it’s easier doesn’t mean I will be happier.
And the truth is simple. My life in Winnipeg has always been one where I usually got what I wanted. Sure, I’ve worked hard to accomplish all my goals and managed to check off all the tasks on my lists (and those who know me, know I make many lists). But it’s come to a point where I’m no longer growing as a person. I’m not learning and I’m not being challenged.
If I go, I’ll be able to find a job where I’ll be making something out of my degree. If I go, I’ll learn to live for myself and not depend on the help of my parents. If I go, I might save thousands. If I go, I might actually be able to take the engineering program that Winnipeg doesn’t offer.
If I go, at least I could have said I tried.
And maybe it’s going to be a long shot. Maybe I’ll be knocked down a couple times before I can get up again. But that doesn’t mean I should let my fears scare me from what could be a heck of a ride.
And that’s the beauty of home. No matter where life takes you, you can always come back.
