When my boyfriend moved out to Kalgoorlie, there was always the comfort of knowing that he would be out there for a limited amount of time and would come back to Perth once that time was up. The plan was for him to come back, do a FIFO job, and we could live happily ever after.
Sometimes though, life throws you a few quirks along the way - quirks that force you to re-examine what you want and where you're going.
I always knew in the back of mind that him being a mining engineer would perhaps require me to make sacrifices on my behalf, as the scope of a mining engineer is limited to, well, a mine more or less.
But when I was asked if I would consider moving to Kalgoorlie (nothing confirmed, just a passing remark), I baulked at the thought. For one, I'd be giving up the life that I have here - great friends, an established job, my routine basically. But at the same time, I am not against moving to Kalgoorlie - I think it's a cute little town, but I just don't know how my city-girl influences will go living in a mining town. It's okay for me to go out there for work, but to live there?
I suppose i"m just scared - scared that I wont fit in, scared that I won't make any friends, scared that life for me there would consist of hermitting and not having a life outside...
So people that have moved or ever considered it , what was the defining criteria that tilted your answer? Was it hope of a more busier life (I suppose Melbournites differ here to Kalgoorlie-ites), was it a chance to start afresh, was it a move for love?Labels: life
