I don't know what I want

    I have a job I love and all going well it should last me for 5 to 10 years if not longer.

    I should be happy but Im not.

    I moved home three years ago when I got the job because it is ridiciously close to work. Im getting extreme hassle at home which is causing me a lot of stress. Not from my parents. But from a bully sister.

    I don't know what I want but all I do know is that I need to move and go and get away.

    Everybody seems to be doing the whole australia thing and I have been thinking a lot about going for a year on a working holiday visa. However I was advised not to give up my job. Or at least to have a plan and a job lined up before I go to australia. How would that work? I mean how would I be able to get a job in australia when I am here in Ireland? How would I be able to get a job before I get tickets?
    So anyways I am working full time and studying part time to gain qualifications but it will be a few years by the time I'll have a qualification. I don't think I will be able to stick it out here at home or here in this wet country for much longer until I have my qualifications and going to australia is what I want to do.

    However when I thought about it running away from everything seemed mad, and I thought about renting. I looked at apartments during the past few weeks however they are so far away from where I work and I can't find anything closer. I have been advised not to rent because I would be signing a 1 year minimal lease and I was told that if I do that I'd be stuck there/here. Also I was advised that having no transport getting to and from work will be hard. And finially I was advised that renting would take all my wages and I would be left with very little at the end of each week.

    I don't know what to do. All I do know is that I need to get away. I would much prefer the australia plan more than renting. I also think if I was to rent I would be still too close to home and that my sister could turn up on my doorstep and cause me further hurt and trouble because she really is out to hurt me and make me suffer for being me and for being alive. I would have the rest of my life when I come back to continue with my studies and to work.

    Whats all this 'advise' you are getting about? You are a grown woman, make some decisions for yourself. No-one can decide the consequences for you in advance. Get to know yourself and decide what you might like, make a decision and live with it. You sound like you are afraid to live your life and want someone else to do it for you. Throw caution to the wind, fortune favours the brave.

    Your bully sister, wet country, doom and gloom advisors are all excuses you are letting get the better of you. Your choice to be miserable or happy.
