It’s nice to be back. But I have mixed emotions. I feel as though I have left bits of my heart hanging around somewhere in BC. There’s a certain degree of sadness pulsing through my veins. Nelson BC was such an amazing and mellow town filled with equally amazing and mellow people. Never in my life have I seen so many dread locked hippies, hitchhikers, environmentalists and yogis. Little by little it aided me to drop or at least put aside my Type A obsessive compulsive driven achievement oriented personality.
People trade in their careers in exchange for the lifestyle that awaits in Nelson. However, by its nature it is generally a very transient town. It was definitely the perfect place to be for me while being in the middle of a life transition. I feel that I have been very fortunate to have been able to have a transitional period of floating around in my life. I know that responsibilities and commitments normally weigh most people down and don’t allow them to just pick up and leave town. Also, leaving one’s comfort zone can be difficult. But it seems like when you take the risk of leaving all that is familiar and comfortable you open the door and make room for so much more. Things you couldn’t have imagined or planned. The relationships and connections I made were amazing. I am in awe of where my journey led me and all that it has brought into my life. The beauty and attractiveness of BC and all the people I met has enhanced my life. But I am still feeling sad. I guess I should be remembering the quote “Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be happy that it happened”. Namaste.
