Have you ever been at the junction of a fork in your life's road and not known what to do? How did you get through it? (beehaw.org)

I'm currently at this juncture and trying to decide whether to go back to school and start entirely fresh or to hold out for another year or two to see how things go. The anxiety of what the future may or may not hold is real and I'm just standing here, watching the distances shorten faster and faster while still not knowing.

What's your take, Beeple?

I'll be the Oracle from Matrix. "Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it."

I must have seen that movie a hundred times, but I didn't really understand this until I got older. Every time I seemed to be paralyzed by the choices, it turned out I was just afraid to commit to what I really wanted to do.

Dang. This definitely hits hard. What a great line and what a great insight.

I think a few other commenters have said the same about already knowing what I want but just not being able to take the step. I think this will help.

Thanks :)
