i think i have the yips

whatever happened to me? i used to be this spontaneous, easy-going person. now, i'm so up-tight, grumpy and i think i'm having the yips (when you overthink about doing something that you end up almost not doing it).

you see i'm currently faced with a decision. a friend of mine transferred to bacolod and he's asking me if i'm considering working there. same company, same position, but a whole new environment. of course, when faced with something like this, you get old the yellow legal pad and start jotting down all the pros and cons.

pros:

>i'll be able to get out of my comfort zone (read: new faces, new places)

>i'll be able to live in a hotel for 2 weeks

>it's gonna be a challenge (new program, new SOPs)

>this might help my career's growth

>since it's a new program, faster promotion is a big possibility

>might be the best place to finally heal

cons:

>eventually, after the 2-week hotel stay and the relocation allowance is done with, i'll eventually have to rent (not practical to think that i'm the breadwinner and I still have to send money to my family; here in Manila, i don't have to pay rent)

>all my friends and family are here in the city, gonna miss them so much

So, what do you think? should i go for it?
