A roundhouse kick to the face

by E.P. on January 15, 2009

That is what life dealt me yesterday. And while I expected something similar to happen, I didn’t foresee what actually occurred.

I’ll be OK, but I’m angry. I’m confused. I don’t know what to do with myself, and I just want things to work out. But more than anything, I’m realizing that I have been shown a snippet of what’s to come, and it’s not pretty. That means a major change is on the horizon, one way or another.

I’ve talked it over with my boy, and he is incredibly supportive. I have talked it over with my parents and friends, and they are all backing me up.

I’m still scared, though.

In the next few months, I will be making a life-changing decision. OK, that makes it sound more dramatic than it actually is, but this choice could potentially take me to a different town. This decision could shape my career. And it freaks me out, despite knowing what I need to do.

I wish decisions like these were easier. And I wish that I wasn’t in such a crappy position to have to think about this the way I am.

  • Sorry I'm so late in commenting! I hope things are going better for you now! BTW, I think this means that you need to move closer to that boy of yours!
  • If the change is for the better then go for it! I like changes, there's always a good excuse to get out of the routine :-)
  • Yikes- hang in there. I can only hope that the changes that are coming your way will turn out for the better. If you need anything, like always, you know where to find me. But I trust you're doing just fine.
  • life changing decisions are always hard to think about. but you have your loved ones support :) and of course, you know my email
  • let me know if you need to talk or need an opinion! i'm good with that stuff, promise.

    xoxo
  • I hope things seem a little less scary now than when you wrote this... but I'm 100 percent convinced you'll make the decision that's best for you.

    But I'm still curious. What's going on? ... you know, if you're comfortable sharing and all. :)
  • Those decisions are sometimes the hardest and scariest to make...but also the most important. You'll make the right decision, wherever it takes you. Just be excited about a new chapter of your life.
  • It's good that you're surrounding yourself with supportive people! Things always find a way of working themselves out. You'll do the right thing no matter what.
  • Unfortunately we have to make these decisions--to grow up and become successful. Make a list. Much like Miranda when deciding on whether to get back with Steve! :) Good luck, I am sure no matter what you choose all will work out. xo
  • I feel in the dark because obviously I forgot to put your new address in my reader and I feel like I have so much to catch up on...I havent read your blogs in like WEEKS!

    and this, is not acceptable. rest assured you are in there now.
  • What is it??? New Job? Moving? Selling your kidney? What?
  • I hope it all works out! *hugs*
  • If it makes you feel any better, I decided to move to Los Angeles only three weeks before actually making the move. Despite what I've been through, and how much of a pain some of it's been, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Sometimes these things bring up what you least expect.

    Sending hugs and good wishes for you!
  • Good luck with this- I hope that whatever you end up choosing it will make you happy.
  • where ever life takes you, you are going to do amazing things. don't ever forget that. xoxo
  • Don't you hate being an adult sometimes? Whatever you decide, you'll make the right decision. :)
  • With good friends and family, you can handle anything. What a blessing it is that they are supporting you. Good luck with your decisions. It's scary at first, but I'm sure you'll do what's best for you.

    Oh my gosh, I hope everything is okay. Just take things one at a time and go with your gut. It will never lead you astray.
  • good luck figuring out what needs to be figured out! i have a feeling it will all work out in the end. and now, i leave you with a quote that just popped into my head, and i can't for the life of me remember where i heard it:

    everything will be okay in the end. if it's not okay, it's not the end.
  • awe! sorry you are distressed! Take the leap!
  • These decisions are never easy, but I've found that going with my "gut" feeling (after I've looked at the pros and cons, so it's not really a gut feeling) works best.

    Think about what would make you happier in the long run and go for it!

    Good luck with the decision!

    As a good good friend once told me "life without change is boring" Hugs, everything happens for a reason and you have the boi and your mom by your side.
  • Sometimes the best changes in our lives come from really dark and ugly places. Hold strong and steady through this time and you'll reap the benefits on the other side.
  • I just keep reminding myself to have faith in the process. Even if it doesn't look exactly how we thought it would, even if we've tried so hard to make everything stable and dependable, sometimes things have to change. And that's ok. Just trust that everything will work out the way it's supposed to. That takes a lot of pressure off trying to make the "right" decision.
    Have faith & know that we are all here for you!!
  • Good luck with the big decision!!
  • I'm not sure why, but it seems like absolutely everyone in the blogosphere, in my life, in school has been dealt a blow this week. At least it means you have somebody to lean on. ;-)

    "This too shall pass..."

    You will make the right decision for yourself. Just have faith and believe that what ever decision you'll make will ultimately make you happy and lead to better things in life. I know you will shine where ever you go and in whatever you do.

    Best of luck to you, pretty lady!! :-)
  • Good luck! I hate how we have to make all these huge, life-altering decisions in a matter of years. Couldn't we just space them out a little?! :)
  • Eeesh :/ hope everything works out <3

    As for making decisions - go with your gut. It's usually right.

    good luck! *hugs*
  • The advice my parents always give me: sleep on it. And never make a decision at night. (I've found them to be right.)

    Hope things get better.

    I'm sure the right decision will come to you and whichever way you decide to go it will be amazing! =)
  • ria
    i hate making tough decisions. it's good that your boy and family/friends are supportive

    *hugs
  • You'll get through this, doll :) It's tough out there, and I think you're sooooo smart for thinking ahead like this and having a plan. It'd be blind to move forward thinking everything was safe, and you're doing the right thing by considering your options. This may be the opportunity you've been looking for!
  • if you need someone to talk to, you have my email address!
  • Oh no! I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Let me know if you want to talk!
  • AP
    a move could be great! if not now, when? :)
  • When things get tough, life is trying to let you grow. It might seem horrible now...but you will be a better person after all the dust settles. Change is scary, but if you don't change, you don't grow. Hang in there!
  • No one is ever ready for those decisions...

    Best thing to do is to weigh out all the pros and cons of the two choices... but also remember that some pros and some cons are weightier than others...

    Give it some time... you'll do the right thing.
