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?

@PrestonJ 🤔i really can understand your dilemma on one hand you are in a place that really cannot offer you a very bright future i think leaving this friend is also playing on your conscience , then you have a chance of a bright future in charleston where you may get more opportunity too get on and if you are ambitious enough go places . too me it is a simple choice go forward this good friend will not stop being so you can always keep in touch and visit. i do not want too sound selfish but you may regret it if you not take this chance as with your age you may never get a golden opportunity again

@smiler2012 I think I’m leaning in that direction. It’s true, leaving her is playing on my conscience. It’s the only thing that is making it where I’m not easily all in on the new adventure. We’ve become so close and I’m just letting fear sneak in and fuck with me by thinking that our friendship will fade away because of distance like other friendships have.

@PrestonJ 🤔well not too sound harsh you have posed this question and people can advice you but at the end of the day it is your call only you can make this decision . you need too do what you think is best for you and what your heart and mind tells you and stick too it
