two weeks ago i went to Hot Topic and took photo shoots. it was yesterday i had gotten a letter in the mail saying i was accepted to be a model at Hot Topic, bad part is i have to move to southern California to model at the head industry. my friends are happy for me, my bf too. but i wasnt. because if i left i wouldnt be able to spend time with them anymore. and were all really close. i knew them since i was little my boyfriends too. i mean im caught between doing something i really want and being with the people i really want. what do i do?..
Additional info, added Thursday June 24 2010, 12:17 am: heres how close we are.

I can understand how difficult this decision is for you but you are you really going to live in the same place with the same people forever?
If your friends and boyfriend are as close as you say they are, then surely they'll be able to come and visit you? You'll also be able to go back and visit them. It'll be difficult but if this is your dream career then isn't it worth it?
It's all really important that you look at the details of the job carefully. Make sure this isn't a short-term thing that could leave you nowhere in a couple of year's time or less. You don't want to give up everything for something that doesn't last.

Regrets, mainly. I don't want you too loose your big break. However, these are your really REALLY close friends. Honestly, would they drop you? would they never talk to you again? would they never visit?
I think its clear what I would choose, but it is really up to you. I actually read this question a couple of hours ago and didn't answer and i can't get it out of my head!
You need to seriously consider everything. I can't tell you what to do, but i think you know what you have to do. Its great that your friends are excited for you. Maybe its your time to go on your own for a little bit, and if you don't like it then you can go back!
This is such a big opertunity, and as an actress i know that these things don't come along very often.
AHHH, i just basicly choose for you! Well, i guess just hear me out, the choice is up to you. your friends will support whatever disicion you choose.
VannaTheStrange answered Wednesday June 23 2010, 6:05 pm: Firstly, congrats! Secondly, it's good that they're happy for you and want you to do it. Take some time by yourself and think about what's best for YOU! Your friends and bf will always be there, but will your modeling job?
It's a great opportunity. If you're still undecided make a list of pros and cons to see how it works out. Honestly though, this could be the start of something really great for you! If you don't do this, will you wish you had? If the answer is yes, then go for it! Life is too short to live with regrets! :) [ VannaTheStrange's advice column | Ask VannaTheStrange A Question ]
