I miss Singapore Girl.
She told me she's considering travelling after her year finishes, so I might not see her until the end of June, making it 11 months between me seeing her. Plus, she's now pretty determined she won't be coming back to Cheshire after this summer, so looks like I'll be visiting her in Glasgow from time to time.

Won't be easy though.

Can't you move somewhere with her?
Why don't start an adventure? Choose a new country, where you think you both could get a job, and go for it!

The romance has long since passed unfortunately.
And while the thought of moving to Glasgow is one that has crossed my mind several times, I'd only be moving to be nearer to her. What's the point?

I suppose it's just the way I am
But I couldn't live on the same place for so long. Even if it's not for her, don't you feel like going exploring the world, and living in other places? Now that you have nothing to keep you in Mac, why don't you try something more exciting?

I want to, but my feet are firmly anchored to the floor.
I'm always too worried about what could be round the corner. The only things keeping me in Macc are friends, and my job. I'd leave my job the instant something that paid the same came along, but aside from telesales, there's nothing at the moment.

What do you mean there's nothing at the moment?
You could go to South America and travel that part of the continent just working as a waiter or teaching English. In Tenerife, a native English speaker charges 15€/h/people, groups of at least 5 people, just for conversation in English (my mother is paying that)

You don't like your job, go away from it... You may regret later that you haven't done it now: when you have a girlfriend you'll never want to move again unless she wants to do it too.

Sadly, I'm a massive wuss
I'm so bad with finances I don't dare travel, or leave this job, because while it's shit, at least I'm still guaranteed pay at the end of each month.

I'd hate to make you feel bad
So I won't say much more on the matter, but you're just 22, aren't you? What can you lose? A crap job? There'd be better ones in a year's time, and you'll have the best experience in your life.

Offer yourself as an aupair in Europe if you are scared of not getting enough money to find a place to sleep. When you come back, you won't be worse than now. It might take you a couple of weeks to find a job, you might have to do telesales for a while until you find something better, and? Is that worse than staying in a work that you don't like and lose the opportunity to spend a year travelling?

Aye, still 22
I think it's a problem I've had in ages, I've never really had the chance to settle properly, not since I was a child. I lived in the same place until I was 16, but was in 7 different schools during that time, for different reasons. After leaving any of them, I had very little contact with any friends I ever had there.

Now it's my choice, and it seems I've chosen to set up a base for myself. Maybe that's why?

Maybe
I'm sure that whatever makes you feel good is the best. I'm completely different and need to move all the time. I'm so excited about changing Manchester for somewhere else :)
