Life at Crossroads

[Capital Steez]

I'm 24 turning 25 in Feb. I graduated with my BA in Spring 2014. Spent the past 1 1/2 years working my 1st real corporate job in a new city I moved to with my college girlfriend. Took L's in both.

Me and my girl broke up after I lost my job and I've temporarily (past 3 weeks) come back to my hometown to try and figure things out.

I have another steady job offer pending back in the big city I wanted to take a break from. But I'm torn between going back and starting from scratch in the corporate world or staying in my hometown that makes me happy (family, childhood friends, etc.) yet has wayy less job opportunities and potential for career growth.

A lot on my plate right now and I'm worried because youth is fading fast and am a bit afraid of living that bachelor life with no real friends or connections, just a salaried job offer. Things could be worse for sure, but I'm just worried that my next decision is going to impact me in big way for at least the next year or so.

Sounds like you have things under control though breh. Seems like you're a focused man. You'll get through these current tribulations and it'll make you stronger in the long run. Hold your head up.

Good luck!

Honestly breh, I was having a lot of suicidal thoughts. Recently got prescribed some anti-depressants after having a panic attack that landed me in the hospital. I think there's still too much life left for me to go that route. Plus, my family is way too supportive and incredible for me to put them through that.

You are learning sacrifice right now. "Do what makes you happy" is not always the correct course of action. Take the job and be sure to visit your hometown whenever you can so that you don't miss out on the happiness of seeing your loved ones.

Forget that thought of youth fading, you're as old as you feel. Life's about experiences, not checkmarks on where you should be at such and such age. You seem like you're about to be on a rollercoaster ride right now. Just go for it breh, no regrets.

Hey, I'm going through some really rough things now, but please take into consideration that EVERYTHING in life is only temporary. Including life itself. You will not be unemployed forever, nor will you be single forever (unless you choose to be). The only thing you can do is take action on the things you want to change. Need a new job, go find one (even if its in a new city), gonna miss your family, sure but think about the possibility of meeting new frends and that you can always go visit your fam. Its tough out here fam, beleive me I know, I'm going through a similar situation. But what got me looking at things different is that my mom provided a health scare late last month that I thought I would lose her. Put things waayy into perspective.

Sounds like you at least know what direction you wanna take in life breh, which is a good start.
It's always good to take a pause once in a while and evaluate where you stand vs where you wanna be in a realistic manner.
Always keep grinding and moving tho, whatever that means to you. Just don't settle and always be working towards a goal.

Sounds like you have a good support system as far as family is concerned, which can't be said for a lot of people. I'd say take advantage of that and really use this time to be with them but also reflect on where you want to be long-term. If you decide to move back to the city and take that job hit it hard in every aspect of you life (work, social life etc.) w/o any reservations or regret
