Multiple Facets, New Depth

It seems like everyday that I come across some new piece of information or idea that changes the entire feel of this decision process. I usually tend to blow things out of proportion, and thought at first that it was two sided decision - one path or the other. It turns out that this is not the case, and it's going to be alright if I don't choose this path, I will be able to take it later on. However, there are advantages to taking this path now, and it could help me out in the long run. Then again, if I don't take that route, I'll be fine as well. There are advantages and disadvantages either way. . .

Don't get me wrong, the decision is still going to be really hard, and I'm going to have to pay a lot of attention to the feelings in my mind. At least have the knowledge that I won't completely miss out on the opportunities I once thought I would.

Decision in the Works

I apologize in advance for the conflicting tenses this post will contain. My mind isn't just thinking past-ward, forward, or current-ward; it's switching in and out throughout the three.

Oh wow, the past couple of weeks have been awesome, scary, nervifying, wonderful, and stressful. I am in a very interesting point of my life right now; a big decision is ahead of me. Now, maybe I'm over-reacting, and maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I beg to differ. The path ahead of me is split, and if I choose one route, I forfeit something wonderful for something else wonderful. I can see myself walking either path, but it's so hard to choose. I want this path so bad, but am scared to death of it at the same time. But if I choose the other path, I will always regret not taking the first. The first seems so appealing, yet I need to fully understand what I would be getting into. . .

I can't hurry this decision, I won't hurry it. No matter which direction I choose, I have to be dead-sure that it's what I want. It's going to take me a while to come to the final conclusion, yet I'm going to need to reach that conclusion by April. Will I be able to? I have to; one way or the other, the decision will have to be made by then.

More details regarding the decision and what this is all about will come.
