The year of big decisions

I've always been too scared to follow my dreams. Too scared to take a leap of faith. Too scared to just go for it. But this year things have changed. I'm not sure how it happened, but it seems that I'm in a different state of mind. I'm willing to just go for it. I'm more than happy to make huge life changing decisions. It is strange and it feels good yet scary. So scary.

Quitting a full time job was a big decision. A decision everyone around me seems to think they wouldn't be able to make. I have no safety net, no plan b. Nothing. Yet, I did it. Now to decide what to do with my life. How to go about getting another job. How to market myself. I've never been unemployed since I started working. I've never quit a job without having another one on the go.

At the end of the year I will be going to London to visit my lovely sister and cousins. It is very exciting. But it also means I can't start a course where I won't have a break for Christmas. So this is where things get confusing. Going to London is not an option. It's gonna happen. I don't want to spend christmas here alone when my whole family is out there. Ain't gonna happen. But is it worth sacrificing a career opportunity for that? I think it might be. I mean, I could just do the course next year, right? But what would I do with myself for now?

Life decisions: how I hate them.
