Stability and 'Sorting it all out'

After being laid off from a nice paying, center city job, I find myself in the same boat as I was four months ago. I may not have the emotional baggage attached to it this time, yet the frustration remains the same. I have the chance to go to upstate New York and work in a very nice paying job but I remain hesitant to do so. I realized through meeting someone in April that I want stability in my life, something I never have had. I moved back to Philadelphia because I wanted to start on my stabilization efforts but in a city with 11% unemployment, finding a job is near impossible.

So I find myself at a juncture where I must decide to move, once again, to a “foreign” place for work. The pay is nice but I will once again be in a land far away from friends and family, thus putting an abrupt halt to my stability goals.

So as I ramble on, I am just trying to sort things out. Someone I once knew has a blog called the very thing. I’ve learned, at least through my experiences, that once you have things sorted out, you are oblivious to other issues, thus not having sorted much out at all.

To all those trying to sort things out, I wish you the best. I will be here contemplating life as I prepare for my seven hour trip north to interview in another “foreign” land. I just hope that one day I can find my stability and finally "sort it all out."
