It's so aggravating. At the last minute I decided to get out of town and found myself in NYC Tuesday morning. I needed to go and just breathe. Except the air pollution/pollen or what have you irritated my allergies so badly. It was horrible. Even though I needed to be away I couldn't wait to get back to Florida. My beach house...clean air.
Didn't get enough thinking done but we did hit up a few places including Marquee and Bungalow 8. It was nice to be in a place without seeing familiar faces but I really didn't feel the difference of being in NY or FL. Along the trip somewhere I read a poster that gave me somewhat of a reality check. "Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true."
I couldn't wait to get home to fresher air but at the same time I dreaded the thought of my daily routine.
All I could come up with was: a)I have a lot to lose if I leave Florida and b)I can gain learning experience (whether it be a few mistakes or land a job) that could help with my career. I realized that I am young and able to pick up and go. Now's the time to make a decision. A hard one to make.
Pick up and leave to explore my opportunities and risking failure to find that happiness? Or stay and have stability but in a place I don't want to be?
Take the risk? Or the easier way out?
