Should I stay or should I go now...

I'm am feeling a little down at the moment. I haven't been shortlisted for the local job I wanted - I matched all the requirements on paper but it's likely they already knew who they wanted to employ - and I'm no further forward with work in Italy.

On top of all this, my relations are all getting married and having babies. Now, whilst I'm over the moon happy for them, it does throw my own lack of a life into high relief. I know I am truly blessed with parents who not only don't have a problem with me staying here indefinitely but have made it clear that there is no pressure on me to do anything, however, I am in limbo.

Do I up sticks and head for Italy, where I don't have anywhere to live (I would be relying on the kindness of friends initially) but where I should be able to get work, or do I hang on here where I have a very comfortable home, no social life and no immediate work, in the hope that the seeds sown in Italy over the last couple of months bear fruit. On top of this I'm still looking for jobs in the UK but I wonder if I'm just wasting my time.

I hate making decisions, it's something I'm very bad at.
