I find myself at a crossroads in my life. In about less than 2 weeks, I would have to make a decision that could change my life drastically. It’s a choice between building a life here or a life elsewhere and I’m embarking on this journey alone. Perhaps this is the reason why I have remained unattached and maintained my distance from romantic relationships.

I never thought that I would find myself in a predicament like this, but then life has a way of presenting opportunities and challenges. It’s both exciting and frightening because there’s no U-turn that I can take once I have chosen to take a certain road. I’ve tried to think of as many fall backs as I can to at least support each choice and to bring me comfort if my decision doesn’t work out the way I intended.

I always try to weigh the Pros and Cons before I make any decisions and I have always tried to be practical. I used to be a risk taker but certain consequences made me learn that a person really has to look before he leaps in certain situations. So I’m quite careful now than I used to be. I try to live by the “Cause and Effect” rule.

Still, I find myself utterly confused with what decision to make because the Pros and Cons are somewhat equal. Both present the gravity of fears and regrets. So now, I am left with the reading of signs around me and listening to what my heart speaks. Sometimes my thoughts overpower its voice, but based on the majority of decisions I have made in the past, the heart is always right.
