"So kiss me, and smile for me."

So after a weekend of epic debauchary and me basically giving PEI a big "fuck off", I'm sitting at my computer way to amped to sleep. I may not sleep for the next 10 days. For those of you "not in the know", I bought a one way ticket to Calgary on Thursday and I'm getting off this pebble for a while. Money talks, and apparantly there's a lot out there for a resourseful young chap such as myself.
I am by nature, impulsive. But I've never done anything this adventurous before in my life. I wish there were words to describe how I'm feeling right now. It's a mix of nervousness, excitement, doubt, hope, and sadness. Obviously there's a lot of things I'm going to miss about PEI. A lot more than I thought of when I started planning this trip. The fact that I'm shedding all familiarity and that BOOM come April 5th most things about my life will be totally different completely blows my mind. I'll have never been so "on my own" before. Through a lot of introspection the past couple of days, I tend to fluctuate between 100% down and totally fucking scared of this whole situation.
What I've been wanting for a while is to be get the most out of life. This seems to be the most responsible, well thought out, most supported plan I've ever come up with to do so. If I all come back with is a few good stories, and more debt, then so be it. If I didn't do this, I would always wonder "What if?" and that's not something I can live with. I hope that explains it well enough for people I'm leaving behind.

Live Life? You may talk the talk Matt Ling, But it's time to walk the walk.
