No risk, no fun
Today one of my new colleagues asked me, if I am not afraid to make such a big step as to move to the US for good next year. My answer was simply no. And this was absolutely true. Every time someone asks me that question, I realize that I am not afraid at all. I am all other things from excited to overwhelmed to curious to overjoyed â but I am definitely not afraid.
Over the last years I learned that bad things can turn to really good things in the end. About two years ago I was so frustrated about my whole love life, that I actually made up the plan to stop dating for ever. Than I met my husband, fell in love head over heels and now am a married woman. Last year I lost my job, was depressed like I’ve never been before in my life, took the risk to start working as a freelancer and now I have a couple of great freelance jobs and am happy as hell.
Sometimes it’s the best thing to just follow your heart and take risks. I didn’t know how it would work out when I moved together with my husband just six months after our first kiss. Many of my friends told me that I am crazy for doing that and now they agree that he is the man I’ve been waiting for my whole life. When I grew familiar to the idea of working on a freelance basis, my mom was furious and told me not to take that risk. And now, after seven months of self-doubt I have a really great job, which I love. It turned out to be the best thing I could have done!
So why not take the risk to move abroad? I actually don’t see it as a risk, but as a task, on which I guess we both will grow. We will have our problems, we will have doubts, but I am a hundred percent sure that this American Dream will work out for us! And than in a few years we will be happy to have taken that risk!
