Torn between two things and you have to choose one?
Sorry for the big read. I know some of you are incapable of reading more than a few lines
Last year I was offered a job in Canada at the Fairmont Jaspar Lodge. It was a dream come true. I'd finally leave home and go travelling whilst having a job to support me. Part of the reason I wanted to go was to escape my overbearing family. At the time of applying my relationship with my family was in bad shape. We were constantly arguing etc. I thought that if I go travelling I'd finally get some peace and maybe the distance would 'heal us'.
I was offered the job months later but by then my relationship with my family had improved. So now I was torn. Do I leave home, my family, now that everything was better? Do I leave knowing that even though we got along now, my parents would never let me go unless I just went? Do I leave and finally do something that I want to do? Or do I stay?
I stayed. I was too scared to go. I thought I'd made the right choice. Several months later I realised that no, I was wrong. I made the wrong choice. I let go of such a great opportunity.
On a smaller scale yesterday I battled with the decision between a soup and KFC. I chose KFC in the end because I figured I'd get more protein from their skanky chicken
. I regretted it because the burger was very...watery/raw-ish
.
I think the moral is - I should listen to my heart rather than my head.
What about you? Have you ever been torn between something that could affect your life in a big way?
