Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat

Fortune favors the bold.



I responded to the inyernship offer in L.A. today. I'm diving in, taking the plunge, leaping. I thought long and hard about it both today and yesterday, and realized that I just need to do it. This is a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. It will provide incredible job experience, not to mention enough money to fund my expedition to Uganda with HELP this summer. Yeah, I do love the way my life is going in Provo right now, and yes I will most definitely miss it. BUT the good stuff isn't going anywhere. I will make new friends and have new experiences while keeping in touch with the old. The people/stuff that really, really matters aren't going anywhere, and I can pick up things again here in Provo next fall.

Right now I'm in a very comfortable place. I think I want things to stay the same because of that reason. I have a set routine, reliable friends, a good job, and a nice house. Yeah leaving is scary, and I know I will miss a lot about Provo. This job may be hard, and I may be homesick. I might downright hate L.A. Who knows?
BUT
Fortune favors the bold, and I'm going to be bold on this one.

No regrets.

Listening to Holiday from Real by Jack's Mannequin helped solidify this decision.

This isn't holiday from real, but yet another rather convincing song by Jack's Mannequin.
