New Moves

Alright, bare with me on this as it may be long winded but I'll try keep it sort.

To give some context my girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me 3 months ago because I was emotionally cheating on her. We had an epic 5 years which included 2 years of travel through South America and Europe. Regardless of what I did she was the type of girl I could have easily and happily lived the rest of my life with.

Since returning to our home country (where the break up occurred) I decided to move out of our hometown. Not to run away from my past but more so towards two places I always wanted to move to which are close to the outdoors (a huge passion of mine). But also to spike something new as I, as I'm sure we all do, feel into the trap of feeling like I'm stuck in the same routine. Don't get me wrong I love my city as it has my friends, family and good paying jobs here plus its close to surf beaches which is a huge passion of mine. I'm sad I'm leaving but I think its the right call.

The two places I'm tossing up between;

Place A had a worse paying job (85K) but it had a larger community so there would be less small town BS. I knew friends down there and even had a flat I could move into straight away. It also had the best of both worlds for me which was access to the mountains and the ocean for surfing.

Place B had a better paying job (100K) and its right in the mountains and has a super outdoorsie community. I don't know anyone there though and also I'm struggling to find a flat. However winter is coming and skiing is my shit and the company I will work for is highly spoken of.

I choose option B on the basis that for the entirety of my life I have never done anything by myself. All my travel has been with partners or friends and I've always had a support network around me. I thought by throwing myself in the deep in I'll become more comfortable with my inner self through hopefully "swimming in instead of sinking" and learning to be alone, secure and happy in the loneliness.

After making the call I know part of me also accepted the higher paying position due to greed and it looking slightly better as a career.

I know part of you dies in any decision but I'd love to hear what the communities thoughts are in terms of how they go about making tough choices, backing yourself and on top of that whether or not you (community members) think what I did was right given the context.

Did I make the right call given my recent emotional trauma?

Would appreciate your advice. Big Love to you all!
