Well, what is the most difficult decision you've made in your life?
I believe I made mine recently. I'm moving away from everyone and everything I've ever known to pursue professional (and hopefully financial) dreams of mine. I'm single, in my 20's, and have no children so one might think I have no real attachments so it must be easy, but it's not. Social media isn't as effective as a tool to keep people together as we like to pretend it is, and if I visit it will be just that...a visit. If I ever move back, it will be years later and everyone will be in a different stage in their life. In short, nothing will ever be the same, and that can be scary. However, I would rather do this than wonder for the next 50 years what would be if I made the plunge and moved 1000 miles from anything I ever knew by myself.
It's hard, but I think it's right.
Care to share? I always find stories like this fascinating!
