The heart always wins...

I wrote an entry during the week about making a decision that requires either following your heart or your head. It is not a pleasant decision to have to make, and I struggled with it for quite a while.

In the end, my heart won and while I have a lot of work to do to get my plans in motion (after which all will be revealed), I am delighted that I have gone with my decision.

This is the first time since I booked a one way ticket to Italy in 2007 that I have made a completely selfish decision.

I thought of nobody but me.

Isn't that so obnoxious when you say it out loud?

But that is what I did.

I have reams of paper with pros and cons

Each as valid as the one before it 

For the first time since 2007 I followed my heart not my head.

That was one of the best years of my life

My heart got broken, but I have learnt from the errors of my younger years and have become a rather tenacious 31 year old.

Since I decided to follow my heart, I have not stopped smiling.

I have so many plans.

I have so many ideas.

I have so much to do!

And all of it is selfish.

It all revolves around me.

All of it is my own self discovery.

I made my decision on my terms and on nobody elses.

Of course I am beaming. 

Isn't this the kind of opportunity that each of us craves throughout our lives.

I have been given the chance to do it twice now.

To alter my existence based solely on my requirements.

To take the road less travelled if I so wish.

I honestly have no idea right now what my future holds.

I am petrified

I am exhilarated

I am excited

I am liberated

I am wondering if I am slightly insane.

All I know, is that I will be writing a lot more

I will be smiling a lot more

And twirling. No matter what route my life takes, there will always be twirling.
