Stress to the Maximum

Each direction in life that a person ends up walking on, is based on a repetitive stream of decision making. We all have to make decisions, each and every day. These choices could be insignificant to our path in life (such as a settlement to wear the blue shirt instead of the orange), and yet, without any realization at all, these choices could make all of the difference in what the outcome of your day shall be. Perhaps the result of your simple and supposedly trival resolve to wear the blue shirt will score you a job that will upgrade your life considerly which might not have occured had you worn the orange shirt instead. Perhaps an individual would be so impressed by your composure and choice in outfits that he/she will offer you a job on the spot. Maybe, had you chosen to go the the restaurant on the left hand side of the street rather than the right hand side, you would have been robbed/murdered.
Whether the human is conscious of it or not, we each make decisions that shape and define this thing we happen to call life.
Now that we fully understand that these subconscious decisions of ours may indeed transform our lives into methods before deemed unimaginable, what are we to do when faced with a decision that you know will alter your path in life so severely that it might indeed throw you offgaurd?
It's quite uncomparable when dealing with subconscious life altering decisions and completely conscious ones, because when you are fully aware that your decision will in fact, transform everything you knew to be your "life" into some other mold, you tend to become paranoid and obsessive with the results of your decision.
Now, once again, it is unconcievable to compare the task of having to decide between two life altering decisions, and several. When one comes under the realization that they have multitudnal options where they must choose only one, and each single one signifies modification of your current lifestyle, this becomes a burden almost unbearable.
This usually creates an urge to complete a pro's and con's list. What are you to do, when your pros and cons seem somewhat equal in each option, because each alternative is something so drastic that you are unsure of the outcome?
When you could have a life of solitiude, or one in the city? Where you might live in an ultimately nonstop high temperatured environment or one that actually has seasons? When you must choose between living with your family that you don't get along with under any circumstance but in a new city where you have the option of meeting new aquaintances, or staying in a city where you have extreemly close and important individuals in your life but that you hate with a passion that offers no future? And what happens when the option to leave to a new city, is unresolved because the options for which city is to be your desination is multitudnous, and depends on the job offerings for your family? When the decision also creates a complication concerning which University you will have to transfer to?
What would you do, if you had to make this decision in five weeks?
And in light of the newest addiction to say "use the search button", I did, but I can't be arsed to go through 78 pages :p |

I know it may sound overly simplistic, but I would honestly just look at whichever would make me happier in general. Sure, there are going to be some losses in the move, but will you in general be happier than you are now? Is it worth losing what you hold dear at the present time?
It's not really something someone else can answer for you. It's ultimately up to you to decide where you will feel most comfortable and content at. Either way, you can't have any regrets or that will just make the whole situation worse.
I made a similar decision a few years back, and it has changed my life immensely for the better when at the time I wasn't sure if it would. And a few years before that I made a decision that caused my life to come undone for two years following that choice. But I have no regrets because when looking back on it now, I wouldn't be as happy now if I hadn't gone through that period.
Is that confusing enough, lol? :wtf: |

Alright, for once I'm going to answer honestly with no sarcasm.
Obviously you're not happy where you are. But you're afraid of how things are going to turn out if you leave behind everything that's familiar. That's really what it all boils down to. Don't be so philosophical about it - of course it's a tough decision but overthinking isn't going to make it any easier.
The point is that you don't know what's going to happen either way. So the only thing you can do is to block out all those nagging voices asking "what if" and telling you what to do, and just listen to your gut instinct, and go with it. This isn't a decision you can make on an intellectual basis - sometimes you have to *not* think in order to make sense of it. |

move to vegas.
you are looking too much at the past, and the sucky part about the past is you can't change it. I made one huge decision in my life and it changed a whole lotta crap, some good, some bad. But I never really regret any decision, I made the decision to make myself happy, and so far it is kinda working out.
so make the decisino that feels right and don't look back, cause there will be many more decisions just like this and it will kill you if you keep thinking of what if....
and move to vegas. |
