And don’t be too hard on yourself. Listen to “Wakin’ Up” by Lucinda Williams if you need some rasp with your dawning realization.

that not only applies to those mini-Putins who want to take advantage of you, me & the world. It also applies to that guy I see in the mirror who is actually my greatest adversary. And ain't that the prime challenge to overcome and why we are all in this world dimension?

I'm refering to the fact that Vancouver is not the place for me. I can't find an apartment and I have been looking for quite sometime. Maybe it's a sign I'm not supposed to be here. I'm a nice person, like my place clean and I'm pretty quiet and I can pay my rent but so many other people are applying for the more reasonably priced places I don't stand a chance. They must have better credit, better jobs and better references. And the one bedroom apartments always say "only one person " and I have a son. I can't afford a two bedroom apartment.
Kinda hurts my feelings and makes me think maybe this town is not for me, like a sign.
Man I wish I could find a place because where I'm staying now is no longer available soon I've been told.
Should I lie and say it's only me ?
I don't like telling lies and besides the fact a couple could live in a one bedroom apartment so why say "only one person". My son could have the bedroom and I could sleep in the livingroom on a pull out couch bed thing.
It's sad really, tuff town !
I don't know.

There's something called sunk-cost fallacy. The time spent invested in unworkable situations can act as a deterrent to leaving them. I left a decade ago when it became apparent my degree led nowhere in the field it was intended for. Some of my colleagues stayed on though, and *maybe* it works if you marry someone in a higher paid career or can get subsidized housing, but marriages fail and cheap rent only becomes more sought after. It's hard to see from inside the rat maze but there is a whole other world out there...maybe in international teaching with 6 figure salaries, paid housing, free child education and tropical swimming pools under palms... for example.

You're not the first and not the last to be forced to leave Vancouver. Watching people to struggle to remain here, because they can't stand the idea of returning to Nanaimo or Kamloops or ??? is pretty heartbreaking.

See I only say good bye when I'm angry or yahoo know I know it's good bye. My point is this love and applied love as in those were love, have no good byes. No they come with the only one way to depart a see ya later. It means more or less bfn. That's what I should have told her but I was too angry and I blew it once again.
