I live on the Big Island where there are few resources and fewer opportunities for everything from jobs to eligible men. I am actively pursuing an important job application in Honolulu on Oahu. I am currently very single.

I have a small, assured monthly income. I live on SSDI.

Because of events today, I realized one of the things keeping me on the Big Island is just not that important: community theatre. The people I’m involved with are small-minded to say the least.

The most important thing I have here are 2 daughters. One will graduate in May and is planning to go to college back East on the mainland. The other, who is 16, already knows I’m actively trying to get a job on Oahu, and she approves.

Why am I sticking around?

Should I move already?
