A month from now I'll be moving to another country. It took me years to make that decision but you see, I fooled myself into thinking what I had was enough. And it isn't. I spent 7 years of my life making this home, building a safe haven, and when you put so much of yourself into something you will not let it go without a fight. And then, one night, chatting with my best friend on Skype, she insisted I should move countries and I replied with a "but this is my safe haven!". She then spoke the words that would change the course I was in. "But it's not a happy one!", she said, now crying with frustration. You know your friends really care if they cry for you and you've still got a pulse. At the same time it was a huge blow. I thought I must really be in the shit if my friends are crying for me... within me, the decision to leave was made the second after she spoke. Thank you, Lou.
