No Good Answers

It's been a really long time since I posted. And I've been a terrible LJ friend lately. It's just so hard to keep up with everyone here when real life is so hectic. I think about posting all the time and then I feel like I don't have time to do anything and no one really wants to hear it anyway so I don't. I don't even know where to start with

not much I can offer except *hugs*

I know I let this go too long but I appreciate the hugs anyway. :) Thank you. And to update you, I made my decision. I'm moving this summer. I'll deal with the rest as it comes.

Believe me when I say that I understand having hard questions and no good answers. The best advice I can give is to go with what feels right. We're given those instincts for a reason. But, I acknowledge, that's the easy part. The hard part is having the faith that everything else, all that "stuff" that we worry about, will work itself out. I can promise you that we can plan all we want and sometimes life simply has other plans. And it's scary. But it can also be a wonderful thing because even though it's not what you planned, where life takes you can be sooo much better.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I really appreciate your opinions and advice. :) Thanks friend.

I wanted to let you know that I made my decision. I'll be moving in July. (If you didn't get that from FB.) You're right, it's hard to have faith that everything will fall into place. But I've known for a long time what I *want* and I just had to get beyond the rest before I could decide. But my mind was made up a long time ago. Now I just have to believe that it will all work out. At least I'll have the one person beside me who means the most if things fall apart for a while. She always knows how to put me back together. :) Thanks again!!! :) ♥

All I can really say is that as much as we're taught to be level-headed and to think things through, there's only so much rational thought that can be applied to something before the thinking makes you more confused and takes you in circles.
I think this is one of those situations where you have to consider everything, as you've done, and then push it away, take a step back, and ask yourself what you *really* want. Be completely honest with yourself. Because I truly believe that if you have even one thing or one person that makes you happy-to look forward to, that fuels you onward- you can get through all the crap. But for that to be true, you have to believe it too. <3

I hope things get better for you *hugs*

Thanks, hun. It means a lot that there are people who give a damn. :)

I think this is one of those situations where you have to consider everything, as you've done, and then push it away, take a step back, and ask yourself what you *really* want.

You were right. And I was finally able to do just that and I realized that what I really want is in another state. I realized that what I want is to start my life, to grab hold to the best part of my world and never let go. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll be moving this summer! It's scary but exciting. I've even told my mom, so it's for realsies. lol :)

No problem! When I can offer advice/support rather than being the one in need of it, I like to do that :)

I'm so glad that you made a decision you are happy with and are doing this for *you*, not because of other people or what you think you should do.

It's scary but exciting.
Anything worth doing always is ;)
