How do I make this decision?

I am so conflicted right now. I feel like I’m either going to have to make a decision that’s going to leave me heartbroken or decide to stay in an area that isn’t the most supportive of me except for my best friend. The opportunity in Charleston is looking more and more realistic, the only thing stopping it is if the negotiations with the seller of the company go bad. But that means I will have to leave Knoxville, I’m not tied to the area. But I made the most amazing friend here. I've cried so many times when I think about leaving. I’m being pulled in two directions and I don’t know what’s right for me. im not working at the moment so an opportunity would be nice and Charleston is offering that but I could get a job here and be ok. How do I decide?

I know it’s not the same but with technology and ease of travel these days, there are many ways to stay in close contact with a friend. Charleston is a beautiful city. I say give it a try. If you’re that miserable, you can always move back to Knoxville.

I have found in my life that I regret far more of the things I didn’t try than the things I did. 🙂

We do a lot of our communication by phone so it wouldn’t be much different, she’s so busy with her two kids and family. I just keep putting it in my head that it will fall away if I don’t stay here. But hey, maybe that’s what I need to think in order for me to make the effort to keep it. I do like Charleston and it feels so good to think about a new place, near the beach, with a dog and a new camera. It kind of feels right, if I’m truly honest with myself. Thank you, I needed that.
