Time flies

I was just informed that next weekend will be a be a time for asking myself "where did everyone go?" I first came to Charlottetown in 1995 to attend the Graphic design course offered by Holland College. Since graduating in 1997, I've moved away and have come back twice. So more or less I've been based here for close to 8 years. But as I look around now and within a week or so I must ask myself.....what's keeping me here? A large section of friends that I've developed in that wonderful 2 year course have moved off. This coming week sees one of my best friends making the leap to the big city. To celebrate that big move, 4 other classmates (3 who I've not seen in some time) are visiting from Halifax as sort of a reunion/send-off party. But come Monday, the reasons for still being on this Island seem a bit emptier. There certainly are other reasons I stay here, and there may very well be a big reason coming up that will keep me here. I'll be reflecting on my future and deciding what my next move is in the months to come. Stay tuned.
