The decision has been made

The decision has been made. Going to class playing make believe with half assed assignments just isn't for me.

It's time I make a move. Happiness can only be found if you are first ready to take a risk. It's scary as I don't know how this will pan out but I can't keep coasting through life and not actually living it. Life should be about fun, adventure, happiness & love.

So after a griping seventy-two hours I have everything arranged. Or at least I have everything with arranged with the dean of admissions - I am officially a drop out.

A social pariah and a disappointment to my parents - or I will be when I tell them. Let's just hope I'm able to tell them before someone else.

If you had asked Katerina from twelve months ago if she could see herself ever going against the wishes of her parents she would have laughed so hard. But, after the accident and everything that happened with Tai I realised that I couldn't let fear of the expectations of everyone else dictate my life. It's mine and I have to live it how I see fit. Wether that's here in Toronto or England.

England. That's where I'm going. My flights are booked and I fly out in a couple days. Leaving the hell of my life behind.

Accommodation you ask? With the money I was able to save from working at Benvo's and my weekly allowance I had enough money to purchase a one bed apartment in London on Chicksand Street.

As much as I don't want to cause additional drama I've decided I'm not going to give my new address to my parents. It's not like they ever visited me whilst in Toronto. It would be a waste of time, ink and energy.

Cody and Ivy my two friends are helping me pack up my belongings into boxes ready to move into storage. It's not like I can take my stuff with me to England.

Not to mention I don't want to memories. The ones of me with my friends, brother or Tai. Especially the ones with Tai.

I want this to be a fresh start. A clean slate.

No drama. No regrets and No looking over my shoulder.

Cody, Ivy and I have been friends since we were 6 years old and they have always stood by me and most of the decisions I've made but they have been in a difficult position since the accident. It wasn't intentional but the worst things never are. It had put a new strain on our relationships and I knew that I couldn't do anything to make it better.

I guess some things in life just can't be fixed.
