Trust your gut
"Dad taught me to follow my instincts. Trust your inner voice. Listen to your heart and such.
My whole life I've followed my instincts. Well, guess what? My instincts suck so much!"
Any time I start thinking about instinct that line from Be More Chill immediately pops into my head. Thanks Joe Iconis!
When it comes to instinct, some people have good instincts and others... not so much. I like to think I have good instincts but I've definitely made some terrible life decisions so who knows. However, over the last 2 years or so, I've tried to stay more in tune to what my gut is telling me. I follow the signs that are shown to me and simply pay attention. If something is telling me to go left when I normally go right, I'm usually going to listen.
Last August, something told me to move to NYC. I had a gut feeling that something was waiting for me here. I asked for a sign, got exactly what I needed, and 4 months later I was living here. There were so many signs during those months that I knew it was the right decision. Now 10+ months in and I know for sure it was. But what was calling me here is still yet to be determined.
I still follow my gut, look for (and ask for) signs all the time, and just try to pay attention to what the universe is telling me. If I'm looking at a job listing and it doesn't seem in line with what I normally would apply to but something is telling me to apply... I do it. Also on the flip side, if I get a weird feeling about something even though it might look like the perfect job... I don't. Is this the best way to approach life? I'm not really sure but after too many years of ignoring my instincts, I think I owe it to myself to trust them a bit more
I still feel as though something brought me to this city. There were too many signs in a very short period of time to think it was a mistake or that things that happened were a coincidence. I suppose I'm just patiently waiting until whatever "it" is decides to show its face. Though in reality, I'm passed patiently waiting...
Alright, once I start quoting Hamilton it's time to stop.
