pangea:

I have gone back and forth so many times about whether or not I want to get out of my hometown and move somewhere completely different.

I decided at the very last minute to attend college about five miles from the house where I grew up, instead of a school about three hours away. I don’t regret that decision — going to school year has been a great experience.

But.

But.

Some days I have the urge to pack up and move to the West Coast. Or overseas. What scares me is that I tend to have those feelings when things aren’t going my way here, and that there’s a chance I’ll find myself hundreds of miles away from everyone and everything that are familiar to me based on a decision I made when I was upset.

I used to talk the big talk about joining the Peace Corps right after graduation. The truth is, I’m kind of terrified of setting out on my own.

I don’t know whether to take the plunge or not.

I’m so wishy washy.

Plunge. It’s the best thing you’ll ever do,  I promise!
