Since then I have begun to find my way into a happier place. Please do not mistaken me, I'm a legitimately happy individual that has a very positive attitude and bright outlook on life. I had simply begun to feel unfulfilled. I was looking for something more. More than Niagara, more than my job, more than the life that I had become so comfortable with that became too much a routine, comfortable and uneventful.
After determining that a move and change of pace would do the trick I began to search a new job that would take me somewhere that I could be me. Meet new people, take on a challenging career, explore a new environment, and just be.
New York City it was, the heart of Manhattan could not be a better fit. Hustle and Bustle, big city, big career, shopping, dining, and a world of culture. Soon after beginning to apply I was receiving emails back in regards to interviews and opportunities were presenting themselves. After 2 day trips to the city I had landed a job. I real job with a large and well established company with individuals who are hard-working and know what corporate life is all about. I was the Executive Assistant for a self-made millionaire working in the penthouse at 54th and Broadway. Things were looking up...
With 2 weeks of vacation ahead of me I gave very short notice to NorCliff and moved into Holiday mode. First Christmas, then a cruise. Over this very short crunch I had several conversations with Matt in regards to whether or not we would remain a couple with this move. He was sure that we wouldn't, I was sure we could make it work. Knowing that only time would tell. While on our 2 week vacation Bee and I had one too many drinks and began talking. Both of us revealing the truth about our feelings in regards to moving to the big city and what it would mean for both of us. We decided that it was too much, too scary and too far to move in such a short period of time. (once we returned from vacation Jan 8 at Midnight, we had Sunday January 9th to pack our life and I had to be at work Jan 10th).
We decided that it wasn't our time. We needed to rethink our plan. Throwing away hundreds of dollars on plane tickets and condo rentals we took the low road and chickened out. Embarassed and disappointed in our own decision we hit up the job hunting scene again. By now we had both given up our jobs and were far too determined to move forward than to ask for those jobs back.
After 2 months of searching here we are happily living in TO together in a Townhouse style apartment and loving every minute of it. The freedom, the relaxation, a new job, a new city to explore and more than enough to do. We haven't had a free moment to spare.
