In life, we risk. Sometimes those risks pay off, and sometimes they don’t.
CB is applying for a position in Oregon. Which is… not California. I admit, I had mixed feelings on this. Especially because our last go-around at an LDR were not our finest moments. On the one hand, it’d be a great opportunity, on the other hand, the distance.
I guess a part of me is also a little envious. It’s an extremely interesting-sounding job that I might have applied for in college, except for the pay. I wanted to find a job that would allow me to save some money from the get-go. It takes a lot to be brave and do something that may not necessarily pay much. I’ve determined that I’m not going to let money stop me from what I really want to do.
So I prayed. And I decided that if this job is really what he wants, and he gets it, then it’s meant for him. Oregon is not so far away. Apparently, intercontinental relationships happen all the time! (Not that I’d want that for every long). Risky, yes, but I think all the good things in life take at least a little risk.
I am going to be financially responsible and prudent, but I’m not going to let money (or fear of getting hurt) stop me from taking the risks that are worth taking. Fortunately for the personal finance blogger in me (and to the relief of Mom & Dad), what I think I might want to do will enable me to lead a comfortable, if not lavish, lifestyle.
But do you like what your doing for your job? Or r u doing it just for the pay? When your job sucks your life sucks, and not all jobs feel like work. Everything works out in the end! Don’t worry!
Me and T did intercontinental for about 5 months. Not a long term solution, but it worked for the most part. LDRs are workable, but can be hard.
Would you ever go to OR also?
I wish CB luck on his application!
My b/f and I had a LDR for a little over a year (I lived in Cali while he lived in MA). I took a giant leap of faith and moved to MA a few years ago and am still here (for now). It was worth the move and great for our relationship.
Seriously, Isn’t this the guy that you fight all the time with? LDR’s are great if you don’t like sex.
