Extremely Remote Northern Relocation

 Once in a lifetime opportunity… I love adventures. I’m so excited I actually have tears in my eyes…

          It’s still sinking in. It’s a lot of change, and it’s still not for sure yet. But still… man! I love life!

     I have the opportunity to see something no one else I know has seen, or experienced! But now it’s different, because we may be able to bring everything that is important to me. My dog, my rabbits. EVEN MY CAR?! Possibly… we’ll have to see about all of this. I don’t know, it sounds pretty cool. 

     I don’t know how long we’ll stay for, if we will stay. For a few years, or the rest of our lives…

     But I do know that being up there is something that I really want to experience. I strongly believe that understanding how to survive in nature is a very important thing. I think that we are too far removed from everything, our society is so oblivious to their true nature. I believe this is why people are so depressed a lot of the time. But I have much more to learn.

     I’m about to be exposed to a remove native community, and see their sadness, and depression. I want to understand their culture. A culture that has been forgotten. No one down south cares, or understands their lives. Not even a thought in anyone’s head, and likely just a flicker through a politician’s, if that. 

     What sort of things will I see and experience? Will I get to see a polar bear? Arctic wolves? Foxes? Do people camp in igloos ever? I’d like to make one for fun! And I’ll have to get a ski-doo probably… that would be awesome. 

     And E? He hunts. And fishes. I’m really excited about learning more. I love fishing, and the outdoors. I always have. I never really had anyone to teach me those things, and I spend too much time caught up with my computer, the internet, books, and god knows what else, to avoid reality, to spend any time in the outdoors.

     Not like I grew up in a place where there were a tonne of places to fish. I’m sure I could have, I lived right by the lake, but the people around me would have said things like, "you don’t want to eat fish outta there!"

     Where do they think they get their grocery store fish, anyways?! 😛

     Oh, I love the life I’m creating for myself! It makes me really happy! It seems silly that I ever thought Rob and I were going to work. It seems really silly that I thought, at one time, that I was trapped with him… stuck with his anxiety, drinking, and anger. I guess I had just as much a part of it though. I was manipulative and controlling too. Even moreso than he, in ways. 
      What a gift this life is, what a treasure… I’m so glad I’ve allowed someone into my life that sees it the same way I do. Someone to share adventures with. And how beautiful that it happened the way it did. It’s a really nice story. 

     I’m very content to continue my journey with a chapter starting out like this. Or a happy ending… I’m not sure which it is. But I do think this is something really important, and beautiful. I can’t wait for more adventures!!
