Moving Parks

I hate preparing for a move but for some reason I thought it would be less stressful and I won’t hate it as much if the move itself was fully paid for and it is a full move service. With the upcoming move, where everything really is paid for and taken care of by the company, it is less work definitely but it is still stressful nonetheless.

Stress of having to remove myself from everything familiar and also realizing that many things I have taken for granted all these years (e.g. being able to just drive less than 30 min to go see my parents for instance) and starting to understand how much impact that may have on my relationship with people I know and love.

I cleaned out my car yesterday as it is being sold. My trusty new car that was bought less than 11 months ago brand new. Took almost 30% depreciation as I dispose of it in a hurry. While cleaning it up, I couldn’t help but feel sad about the task and having to say a farewell to this object. If my emotional attachment to a car is this great, how am I going to handle having to leave this city and the people who live in it? Specially those who do have special place in my life?

I’ve been saying that this move is something that’s a long time coming as I have lived all of my adult life in Vancouver and I always wanted to try somewhere bigger, more exciting, and offer me more opportunity. I still have to question, is all this worth being out of my parents’ life while they are still alive.
