My....one-fifth-of-the-way-through-life crisis

Where do I even start?
Well, since I saw you, many things have changed. The first one being: Matt and I are no longer "together", or even really friends. He decided that he doesn't want me anymore, and is acting like a reall baby about it. He can't make up his mind one way or the other, and about once a week (after ignoring me entirely the rest of the week) he'll call up and want to do something, it will be fun, and then at the end we'll have this long, repetitive talk about what we did wrong and me saying I'd like to be with him, but only if he pursues me and makes me feel wanted, then him saying he loves me but he hates me and he doesn't want a relationship but he wonders if we would be together forever and he doesn't believe in monogomous relationships but he wants to find someone who he wants to marry and blah blah blah the contradictions just go on and on it's just rediculous!
So that's one thing.
Also, I STILL haven't found a job! I`ve been looking for an entire months, and I`ve applied for over a hundred jobs, but it is just impossible to find a job here! It`s just crazy!!! I`ve been filling in some shifts at my old job, and I did get a job at Tim Hortons, but I wore a bracelet to work and they FIRED me!
I have never hated my life so much! I have hardly any friends, I am almost broke and I`ve got rent to pay, I`ve been rejected for jobs every day for the past month, I`ve been rejected by Matt, i`m super bored and don`t have any money to do anything, and then to top it off I got fired from Tim Hortons! Yup, this is a new low.
Worse yet, I had already done 30 hours of really awful boring training and now I don`t even get paid for it. I want to bash those asshole`s heads in.
But instead, I have decided to take a more productive approach and change my life. Clearly what I am doing now isn`t working. There are no jobs, and even if there were, I`m realizing that it would only be temporary, and without any education I will just end up in this situation again. And I really can`t wait any longer because I`m nearly broke and I really don`t want to have to borrow money from my family.
So...the new plan is this: I`m going to move to Vancouver and take a one year diploma in holistic nutrition, and then either get a job at a healt club or something or set up my own practice as a nutritionist. I could also get a one-year certificate at the community college in courtenay as I do that (somehow), and become registered as a life coach too, because I think the two go together well. Then I can hopefully actually make some significant money, and after a few years travel again, then come back and get a real d bachelors degree as a dietician, and then go work for an aid organization overseas.
I don`t want to preach western ideology overseas, but I would like to help people in some way, and malnutrition is literally everywhere-rich countries, poor countries..and it addresses people`s needs on a truly human level. I really like that.
Anyways, I`ll write a more detailed post soon. My eyes are really tired and all this is still in the planning process (as of last night when I came up with the idea lol) and I`m excited about it and finally I feel like I have some direction again! Horray!
Anyways, I`m stoked to hear about your skydiving experiences!!! Omg, I bet that was a rush!
I want to hear everything about it, and about your summer! :)
Love Edna
