I was flipping through my new Elle magazine and came across an interview with Alec Baldwin. The interview is pretty regular until near the end I read this part:

"I've been in relationships where I second-guessed it and second-guessed it, and that was far worse than the ones where I dove in and I was wrong and I got out of it. Remember: no risk, no reward.

"After all of my fear and my inability to commit, I tell people now to go the opposite way: Commit!" he continues. "If you're with someone, move in with them. If you're living with them and if you're not sure, marry them."

Why?

"Because not finding out and wondering [what if] is far worse than finding out that you're wrong. Don't die wondering."


And this is what I have to keep telling myself about my upheaval and move to Montreal. It would have been worse not to move away and wonder what if. And now I'm here, now I've found out, now I've realised a lot of things. Things that would have always been a what if.

You just have to dive right in.

Anyway, food for thought.

Quarter Life Crisis

They can’t make any decisions, because they don’t know what they want, and they don’t know what they want because they don’t know who they are, and they don’t know who they are because they’re allowed to be anyone they want.

Read it.
