Which do you choose?

Do you choose your own happiness or that of someone you love? The answer is obvious, and there is a way I could be happy and have his happiness as well, but it requires a big move…

I talked to Mike online the other night. He is in Florida, visiting his parents for the holidays. He told me his mom bought him a townhome down there, and is bribing him to go to school. The bribe? He could have that townhome, free of rent, as long as he is in school, and when he graduates, he will OWN it. Problem? It’s in Florida. So, I have to choose- seperate from my best friend and be miserable (but he will finally get the education he needs) or move down there with them- leaving everything and everyone I have ever loved far behind me. What do I do? We decided not to discuss it until he returns.

If I moved down there, I could do my masters program after I establish a year’s residency. Or, I could go into radio at the awesome program they have in Orlando… but I would be seperated from my mom, and my nephew, my sisters, my brother, my dad, my friends… but I would have Mikey… my best friend, and I know it deep down that he is my soul mate. Not the soul mate in the marrying sense, but the soul mate that completes me and makes me whole.

I don’t know what to do… I’ll discuss it with him when he returns… someone… decide for me.

Mmm, the golden question. Go. If it doesn’t work out you can always return, but you won’t live with the “what if’s” rolling around in your mind.

its time to flip the yes/no coin:)

These are the decisions of life only you can make it. Whatever you choose will be the right choice because there are good parts to both choices. I hope the best for you and it’s nearly impossible to be separated from what makes you whole, so I can relate to the difficult choice ahead of you.

I agree, that’s a choice only you can make. Any advice anyone gives you would be based on their own decisions…good or bad. I would say think long and hard about it but sometimes you just have to do things as well. Sorry no help but I hope it becomes clear to you what to do. later,
