Besides the last thing I need, is a controlling conniving woman whos going to do nothing but ruin my freedom, make me miserable, and cost me all my money. Dont need that again
Everything does not need to be black or white. How can you possibly "give up" on relationships when you are 22? 62 maybe, 22 not likely at all. So, instead, say, "I am taking a sabbatical from trying to form long lasting love relationships. I will, instead, form friendships while I get my life together. I will revisit the relationship thing when I am feeling a bit more confident about myself". When you say you NEVER will be in a relationship, that's just pretty darn silly. There are gray areas in most everything (except math?) so...go easy on yourself with those NEVER terms.

But at the same time I need to be realistic and like my brother says to "Get over the fantasy of living in Vegas, if it didnt work the first time it wont work the second time"

He's right, I have a secure job now and like members here have said I need to make a decision and stick to it, all I can do now is keep working, go back to school get my business degree and work my way into management at Publix
I don't think you do understand that you don't have to have everything now. You know you don't, but you don't understand it. Like I mentioned before, search your own soul for the answers, not everyone elses. If you continue to ask those who frown upon your decision, then I have to believe that you are asking them because a part of you wants to hear them tell you not to do it. If YOU want to go back...work, save money, and make a decent solid plan. IF YOU are confident in your decision and comfortable with your plan, you would not ASK anyone, you will TELL them and if they don't give your their blessings, it won't stop you or change your decision. Doesn't mean Orlando forever. FOREVER is another NEVER word. Bleh.

Your brother has no clue when he says living in Las Vegas is a fantasy. You have been there and done that and you could very well do that again. I believe that you recognize the poor decisions you made. That puts you in charge.
can't rep yet.

"wont see you"? Hmmm...ever? If you plan correctly, you can find decent prices on flights and visit. Good Lord, when I was 22, I went months without really seeing my mom and I lived around the block! There are so many more forms of staying in touch today than there was when I was that age (phone and snail mail) so....again...not black and white. You can and you will see each other, if you make it happen. Skype. Could be worse, you could be going off to another country in the military. (I am glad, however, that she supports your happiness. That's what the rest of the fam should do.) I encouraged my kids to travel before they had children and got bogged down, even though I would miss them, I wanted them to see things, not just the house across the street. Two down (they had kids, didn't travel), two to go...we'll see.

Quit overthinking. Just because you are bummed that you are not going to LV today, you don't have to be "depressed", just be patient. You could really just be bummed. We all get that way from time to time. Just do what you need to and when the time is right, you will know what to do. And quit beating yourself up for the way things were for you in LV. You did ok given what you started with. Could have been worse (unless of course it was and you just did not say ) and the thing is that you know what NOT to do where ever you go. Some people are still doing or just doing those things in their 40s.

My husband went to Las Vegas in his early 20s, got in on a Sunday, was at the union hall on Monday and had a job on Tuesday at the Venetian. He lasted a couple months, had to just up and leave, didn't tell anyone, his reason was that he felt he would die if he stayed there as they partied like rock stars every day. He loved it there and wanted to go back, put that idea in his back pocket, made more mistakes in MI, and then met me and then took me for my first time, I loved it and now....60 days until my departure, he has been there 4 years! It took almost 20 years to do it, for him. Not the end of the world, just have to have patience and planning!!! (if he would have stayed, well then, he would have missed out on ME! ) Things happen for a reason.

Stay with Publix, great company, great profit sharing, private company stocks, and as you know they promote from within. There are many that started with Publix in high school as a bag boy, and are earning well over $100k.

Whatever you think about the most, you end up with it.
That's all I am going to say about it, I get tired of repeating myself forever when no one listens.

Wow...I thought you were my wife for a minute

Davie take that quote and tape it to your mirror...look at it every morning, and let it run through your mind every time you look into the eyes of a beautiful woman. Forever is a very, very,very long time
