Lord help me! If I was a confused human being then I would like to know what is the point beyond confused because currently where I reside. Moving out to Denver was all about growing up and becoming my own person, as well as getting away from my mother who has always held some magical power over me. Having left California I have learned a plethora of life lessons. It seems to me that this is exactly where I needed to be. Yet at the present moment I am at the point of wondering if this was a mistake. Not necessarily a full blown mistake as in I regret my presence in this town, but more of the amount of time that I committed to. For about three weeks now offers have come in from every angle to come home.
I passed them by mainly because of Antonio, the boyfriend of the time, and yet now I am unsure of whether it is an entirely terrible idea. I have no support system here. Last night I locked my keys in my car and as these two strangers attempted to open my car for me I realized that if it didn't work then I literally had no place to go. I had no way of entering my house. No spare. And no one seemed to be answering their phones. I couldn't bare it. A brief thought passed my mind as I realized if I was back home then I would at least have my dad to try and if not take me home to where it was warm and we could deal with it in the morning.
What terrifies me about this idea is that I don't want to feel like I am running. Antonio and I just recently broke up and I don't want it to be because of him that I run home. I was talking to my friend Cory after we had successfully retrieved my keys, and he was the first person to question my next step into film school. I think primarily because everyone else has given up on me as far as just picking something to study. He gave the truth that I needed to hear and told me to truly weigh out the pros and cons.
So lets do it:
Pros:
1. Family Support
2. a little more friend support
3. the comfort of home and the familiar
4. no bills or rent
5. Stability to truly get on my feet.
6. Being close to my family during these medical tribulations
Cons:
1. My independence is somewhat lost moving in with my parents
2. The growth and self-discovery that I have gone through here would come to a hault
3. The feeling of running away
4. Uncertainty of what could have been if i stayed.
The other day I made a pros and cons list and and it was drastically reversed. Not sure if this is a momentary feeling or if this is accurate as it stands.
My heart weighs heavy for I know not what to do.
