It's been said that as we move through life, we have to juggle a number of different balls. Some balls, like the one that represents career, are made of rubber. If we drop them, they have the ability to bounce back. But some balls are made of glass - family is like that. If you drop that ball, it doesn't come back.
I think trusting your instincts and doing what is right by you is the most important thing, because at the end of the day you go to bed and you wake up as you.
