Uncertainty.

How do I know I'm making the right choices?

Just 24 hours after I announced that I'm moving back to Cleveland, I have suddenly experienced so many different emotions: Failure, hope, excitement, distress, sadness, and loneliness.

Now I don't know what to think.

Life is tough.

It sure is.
i had the same thoughts on getting married - am I doing the right thing, will it work out, and all that.

You are a smart guy. there is a certain amount of crap things that happen in anyone's life, and you won't avoid it all by staying put, nor will you dodge it all by moving.

The important thing is " what does cleveland have that your current location lacks?" something prompted the change - and now, Cleveland still has all that, and suddenly, you besides.

I ain't saying ' shit won't' happen'. Shit always happens, frankly, but I am sure you can sort it out.
Good luck with the move.

making choices is very tough. I support your move to cleveland because you will have a better opportunity to expand your business (its forced) than if you stay in Seattle. I think there is a good support system in place here for you to get through this process, yet it's this very support system you're most likely nervous about.

I am still very nervous/uncomfortable with my direction right now and there isn't much I can do about it.

The only reason I see you coming back to cleveland is to expand your business and being able to focus on it because you do not need to work on making new relationships.

Good luck kyle, just remember where your determination has gotten you and that you will be able to fight through difficult times because of it.

It's a big, hard decision, and I'd be more concerned if you weren't feeling all those things.

You've grown a lot since you moved here, and I think you'll be successful no matter where you end up, if you put your mind to it. Take what you've gained here back with you. Things probably won't go as you'd planned, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And you've done it before, so you know that if things don't work out in Cleveland, you can find somewhere they will.

I will miss you, though.

Wow, I really know how you feel. Having moved recently, to the city I grew up in, I've gone through a range of emotions. I still am really. There isn't a day that goes by when I'm not excited about my new business. And there isn't an hour that goes by when I'm not scared for it.

Right there at the end I started to write

Carpe diem!

But I dropped my phone on the keyboard at an inopportune moment.

imagine you were prevented from moving to cleveland by something large and evil, say a government bureaucracy.

how would you feel then? compare and contrast.
