Remember: To recall to the mind. (Holy Casper)

I am about to make one of the biggest decisions I have ever made in my entire life... 23 and removing the security blanket that I have so comfortably placed myself for the last year and a half. A lot has gone on and in turn I feel like it is time for me to make a change, REMEMBER what it feels like to start over and begin new again. I've been given that chance the last two weeks and it has completely blown my mind. The person I am or have become is completely different than anything I could have ever imagined. To know within myself that I have given everything I can to make myself successful and to finally have someone realize it, makes me feel a bit scared and very excited. For the last two weeks I have been working in Casper, WY for a store setup. I have met a completely new crowd of people, begun to understand even more who I am as I am now seeing myself from the outside point of view, and have been asked, under the table if I would stay and work for the Casper store. My manager Brett has spoken about making me his second assistant in Millwork and if I were to be his second assistant that would kick the manager that is currently here out. I really wouldnt mind taking him out as he does kind of make me real upset at times, but at the same time, poor guy.... I want to experience a new life and live something different than what I am used to and have become accustom to (if thats how you spell it) but I'm scared of waht I leave behind.... my friends. Who do I tell first? Well I called Nick tonight and told him, I have a feeling that word might get around the little group of friends in that circle pretty fast. My roommate, my mom, I really want to talk to Yvonne right now. I haven't talked to anybody at my store since I left... it is kind of ridiculous. I am going to have to get on the ball at some point once the decisions are made to make phone calls and personal messages to a lot of people if I do indeed move to casper.... I told Brett tonight that if he could get me the position... I'm in... thats pretty rash, but I guess sometimes life calls for rash decisions. Next Friday I am getting a tattoo of the Chinese symbols for Remember tattooed on my ankle... Remember, that word in itself means more to me than anything in the world, I just want to remember everything, where I came from, how and who I learned it from... its amazing that life can be so unpredictable for me at times.
