Terrified

Regardless of being a cultural-seeking junkie outside of America, I have as of recently been faced with an extremely huge decision I have to make in regards of my future. This involves me moving, yes. I have always been up for experiences that will take me further to see, experience and grow. But for some reason, I am just so terrified for what's about to come next in my life.

Have I made a decision? Not officially. In my heart, I know where I want to go. But I can't help but think of how extreme this move is. I don't know whether if I'm just not ready, or haven't acknowledged that when it comes to these opportunities, fear never goes away. Sometimes life gives you an opportunity even when you're not ready. If not now, then when? When will an opportunity like this ever come again?

Don't get me wrong, I've had my ups and downs ever since I heard about the news. One moment I tell myself I can, and other times I tell myself I can't. This battle is abusive to my spiritual health. Is it the debt that scares me the most? Am I afraid that I can't make it out there on my own? Fear and money are the worst. I think it frightens me that fear will strike at multiple moments, and debt will remain a long ways down the road.

But that's life, right? This post itself is sounding like a battle. I guess, what I really need is the support. I need someone to tell me that it's going to be okay, and everything will work out rather than telling me how this experience won't be worth it. What can I benefit from this next move? So much. It will definitely make me grow, and the possibilities are endless. So if the possibilities are endless, what makes me think that I won't be successful in the end? The human condition to want to know what happens in the future is so tiresome.

  1. So I tried submitting a comment but not sure if it went thru...which is embarrassing because nothing ever sounds as good the second time around XD

    basically, for following your blogging for so long (I can't even remember how long it's been since livejournal! I removed mine...), I can see how far you've come and am personally envious of the courage and bravery you've got! That's something I really admire about you. And all I can add is that I can relate to wanting to always know the future, it causes me anxiety on a daily basis, but I also know that whenever someone asks what my plans for the future are, all I can certainly say is "I'm happy where I am"

    Have faith the ending will work itself out in its own time <3

    1. Thanks An :). I'm glad that we've stayed in contact through different media platforms other than livejournal. And I agree, sometimes I wish we were lucky like Ebeneser Scrooge on Christmas eve to see the future sometimes lol. Definitely having faith is what I need to think right now! <3

  2. Oh Linda, without knowing any details of the decision, I say go for it! I'm sure whatever it is, it will be worth it. But if you want to message me the details on facebook for more informed advice, feel free. In any case, good luck coming to a decision <3

    1. Thank you Whitney <3 What I've got is lack of confidence, insecurity and fear about the future lol. But I think that's what a lot of people our age feel like right now. I will message you on Facebook!
