new life, new struggles, new hopes

Ok. This crazy year is almost over and I can tell you, this has got to be the craziest year of my life so far! A year ago, I was a teacher who thought my life was as good as it was going to get. Then, out of the blue, I was in Buenos Aires, visiting for a month and I made the most outrageous choice ever. I was going to move back home, no matter how hard it could be. After making that choice, my whole life was turned upside down, my mother passed away, my brother moved out of my parents' house and I had to quit my job.
When I got to Buenos Aires, I felt a sudden rush of panic, an incontrolable feeling of loss and sheer terror at the thought of having left a life of security for a wild dream. It wouldn't get easier with time, I had to move 2 weeks after I arrived, and now I have to move again and before the end of december, I'm going to have to move again. Looking for a job was no easier, I have spent 2 whole months looking for a job. I finally found 2 jobs and both called at the same time, now I'm juggling between them because one is hiring me and the other hasn't given me an answer, but it pays more. The best parts is, I like the crowd from the job that is hiring me, they are really cool and I have finally opened up and let people see the real me, for the first time since I arrived here.
I have also been on a roller coaster with the boy issues. The love of my life is still my friend and we have remained in contact. He doesn't seem to know what he wants so he shuts me out or he wants my company so he calls me. It's driving me insane.
On top of all that, I'm literally out of money, so I've had to ask my best friend from Dominican Republic for money, because my dad told me to suck it up and live with it.
The funniest part is, that I don't regret everything that has happened to me. I love it here and I will continue this struggle until things work out.
