Need Help!

[windemere]

So, I have a dilema. And I'd like to hear someone else's viewpoint on the issue, because my mother is being her usual entirely unhelpful self. (It's your problem, YOU figure it out!)

So, I originally got into Scuba diving because it was something, finally, that my aunt and I could do together. We could go away and enjoy a bit of freedom. And I thought that was really cool. But recently Edie aquired a boyfriend who is a Divemaster, and she has now taking to doing everything with him: trips, practice, lessons. I feel like a third wheel tagging along where I'm no longer wanted. This was fun once, but now it just seems like I'm going along with it so that when she and Todd inevitably break up, she'll still have someone to dive with.

Should I continue diving simply because my aunt wants me too? Or should I just end it now, before I invest any MORE money in it, and find something else that I'm interested in, where I'm not dependent on her and her schedule/mood?

If scuba diving is something that you yourself enjoy, then don't give it up.

But if you're doing it for all the wrong reasons, give it up.

I suppose that didn't help much either, huh?

Well, actually, it kinda did. Thanks sweetie.

Leah, is the Chapters up on Vega Blvd. doing the Mid-night HP release party this year?

You have to remember why you enjoyed it...If you really enjoy diving, then F*ck whoever's giving you a hardtime...and keep on diving.

If you only enjoyed it because you're Aunt did it and you believe the possibilities you enjoying it without her are at a minimal...then it might be worthwhile to end now.

Do it for yourself...no one else.
