if its cut off, it says "you're dying to leave this town, why can't you just appreciate it?" i feel like it speaks directly to me. i'm dying to get out, to experiance the world outside of the cowichan valley, but i wonder if this is what people are wanting to say to me, "why can't you just apprechiate it?" truth is, this town is a blessing in disguise. and i'm going to be learning that more and more this year, i don't know if i'm going to leave as soon as i graduate or not, i'm thinking about another option, its nothing i ever wanted for myself before, but is it what God wants? maybe this is just where he has placed me and this is what i need to do for my town, to help others survive the chokehold of youbou and lake cowichan, i could give them hope, i could tell them why this town is a blessing in disguise. maybe. maybe this town is more of a gift than i thought. maybe its more of my responsability than i thought, and less at the same time.
