Sink or Swim - Tyrone Wells

"Take a deep breath
No more time left
This is what I thought I wanted
Why am I afraid?"

I'm hitting a breaking point.  To move or not to move?  How can I muster the strength to leave a relatively secure job and lifestyle?  Yes, I pinch pennies, I miss nature, I miss the west coast, I miss being near to family.  But is that enough to get me to move?  I thought I wanted only to find a position in San Francisco but now I wonder.  Is it really what I want or is it just me idealizing a different lifestyle in order to believe that something perfect is out there, is waiting, is achievable?

In the soundtrack of my life, I see this song playing as I sit, internally debating the merits of leaving.  If my life were a movie, I imagine it ending with me dashing to the airport, bag in hand, embarking on a new journey.  

But when is life ever like the movies?
