Hello!
I am having a hard time lately when it comes to moving. I moved to Massachusetts about 5 years ago. Originally I was born here. But raised in florida. I really miss my friends and family in Florida & have considered moving back many times but i have also considered moving to Hawaii as this is a dream of mine! A lot of fear comes with all of this. I feel like I just dont know whats the best choice for me as a person. One thing I know is that I am ready for a change & I have been for a while now. When I orginally moved to Massachusetts from Florida it was for a few reasons. One, I was younger around 19 years old. I felt I didnt know what to do with my life ( and hey i still dont lol.) but I know more now than I did before, two, I needed to refocus my goals and lifestyle to a healthier one, i felt two distracted by friends and what not at that time to truly listen to what I needed to do for myself. Since living here I have learned alot. I have grown with a job for the last 4 years, taken college classes, and become a yoga instructor. I love it here but I also am not a huge winter person for long periods of time. I miss the sunshine. Majority of the time im talking to my mother, friends who live in Florida over the phone anyway. I guess my main concerns are is this a set back? I dont want to feel like Im going back in time. I am not sure if that makes sense? I told myself I would not move back to florida unless i had a purpose. A job promotion, etc. In this case I could apply to a job which would be a promotion from where I am now. Then with Hawaii, I have dreamed of living in Hawaii for a while now. I have never been there before but I do a lot of research and have reached out about job opportunities there. I had a trip planned next month to go but its sadly canceled :(. I could apply for the job there & just wing it but I am very very nervous. I know its super expensive there & I worry I will be trapped there since its so far away from everything I know. But still I have this dream and desire to go. I dont know why but I have had this dream and desire inside of me lol. I am so confused about my next steps as I just dont want to regret my decisions. I struggle with choices like this. I am scared to leave behind all I have created for myself here in massachusetts but as I am apartment hunting now ( my lease ends in June) I cant help but dread the idea of signing another year lease. I am not sure if any of you have struggled with situations like this & if you have do you have any advice??
Thank you so much!!

I think that at this time, a pandemic going on and the economy deteriorating, it’s best that you make short term goals, not long term goals. Choose to live where it is safer for you, where you are less likely to be infected with Covid-19 (and where you are less likely to infect others). Make short term goals regarding a permanent residence and career. Postpone long term planning for when the pandemic is officially contained and the economy is on its way up.
Does this make sense?
