The Solution Of Pi Is EAT It!


So, I've been having a very interesting new year.

I've moved back to my parent's house after 5 months of being gone. I regained my faith, and happiness with myself, even my relationship with my younger sister. Things are pretty good.

My major dilemma, though, is what to do with my life. I aspire to be a pastry chef. Its a lot of money, and time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a job, anyways. But then there is Ian. I'm not worried about going to culinary school and having him find someone else. I'm worried that I won't have time to find someone else, someone better if that's possible.

My question is: How do you know what the right thing is, like finding love or a great career, when everything is uncertain?

Also, sorry for not posting in a while- life comes at you like a brick wall, and you're in a car with bad brakes.

I understand your frustration, I've seemed to hit a crossroad myself recently (although, I don't have the boyfriend thing to worry about. razz ).

You're question is a bit of a toughie to answer. Life is full of twists and turns and throws very unexpected things at you, well, at least this is what I can tell from my experience. In turn, it is hard to know when you're making the right choice when, as you said, everything feels uncertain.

The best advice I can give, is to just trust your gut. 9 out of ten times it's usually right, but that doesn't mean jump in head first. It's tough making big decisions, and yes it is very scary. Just keep asking yourself questions until you feel comfortable enough with your decision.


If I were you, I'd chase my dream. Yes, it would be tough having to let your boyfriend go, especially if he meets someone new...but if it was meant to be, it will turn out for the best in the end, right? If things don't go well, there are 'plenty of other fish in the sea', forgive me for the overly used cliche line.

But again, that is me, that's not you. You will have to make your own choices sooner or later. Again, trust your instincts. They are surprisingly powerful. There is no way to be absolutely sure that you are making the right choice, but that is also a part of life itself. It's in human nature to make mistakes; that's how we learn...and sometimes, we learn things the hard way.

In the end, I wish you luck with your endeavors. You'll know what to do when the time is right, I'm sure. ^_^

Sorry for the lengthy response. If you read all of this, I commemorate you! 8D It was a lot to read through I'm sure, but I hope it helps, even if it's just a little bit.

Take care!
