Leaving the comfort zone behind

At this exactly moment I have boarded a train that will take me to Madrid and you can take it for granted that it scares me a bit. As the title says this train will take me out from my comfort zone, from the life I could easily live in Valencia: studying Industrial Engineering for some more years and then worrying about getting a job and go on with that peaceful life.

But I don’t really like that, I’m not passionate at all about that and I don’t settle for doing what it is expected for a good person if I don’t love it; maybe some of my classmates will, but not me. If you are asking whether I leave university the answer is no, but if you know me a little you would also know what I do enjoy most and understand why I take my chance on following this dream.

Mysteries aside, I have made this decision because in the future I wouldn’t want to regret not having tried and I hope am sure this will bring me at least some (or many) experiences, anyway remind me to take a look at this in a year term.

Finally if there’s only one thing that still makes me hesitate is my parents’ opinion, I know they only want my best and they don’t really agree with this choice. I wish this won’t cause them a lot of worry.

P.S: If it is unclear I don’t know at all if I will definitely stay in Madrid, but I must take this step. Let’s cross our fingers and we will see what fate has in store for me.
