When you graduate college and get started on your life, there are so many choices you have to make in order to direct your life into the direction you want it to go. Jobs, relationships, housing, where to move, where to move again, family, friends, spontaneity, risks, love, life, the whole lot! It's crazy and exhausting at times.
But, every choice that is made at this point in life is going to have a huge effect on the path and direction your life takes. Where you end up and where you want to end up could be two totally different places. And where you thought you wanted to end up might change.
I've been struggling with some if these decisions myself over the past year since I've graduated. Should I apply for this job or that job? Should I stay here or move there, should I wait till my boyfriend graduates or leave without him? Will we be able to handle long distance - no, will I be able to handle long distance?
I decided a few months ago to put my fears aside and take a chance. I applied for a really great position that would be an amazing opportunity for me, but would also require me, not only to move, but to move to a town that I know my boyfriend would never move to. It was scary, because it was something that I wanted, but would come with a price. It was scary because it would be a big step and it would be challenging. It was scary because it would be my first real professional position. But I did it. I applied despite all my fears.
I applied and I got it.
And now, all my fears are manifesting into reality. The only thing I can do is give it everything I've got. Try my best. Succeed!
That's what I have to do, and that is what I will do.
