Life is strange sometimes, you know?
You end up in places you least expected.
Accomplish what you never dreamed possible.
React to situations in ways so not like yourself.
Converse with those you shied away from.
Keep away from those you previously loved.
And just when you thought that your day would be
just fine
staying the way it is
and you're pleased with what you're doing
and how you're doing it
you get a phone call
asking you to make a decision
to change it all around.
And they try to make you feel
as if there are no options
when really,
they were the ones who messed up.
And they try to make you feel guilty
if you don't accept their proposal.
But I LIKE my job
the way it is.
I LIKE my students
and they like me.
Why should I
disappoint
myself and others
for them?

Uh oh. Doesn't sound good. Hope you can get out of this in a way that will satisfy both you and whoever called you. You deserve happiness and fulfillment.
...sounds tough...
Hatzlacha raba...
It's very nice to try to please everyone. But. Sometimes you have to do what's good for you even if doing that lets others down. And there is nothing selfish about it.
Oh these agonising decisions, along with the frustration, sleepless nights and constant intrusions into your thoughts can almost send you crazy. You way up the pros and cons...but still get get no further, do I take the easy way out and stick with what i'm confortable with or stretch myself further. What will others say, help! more confusion, ok forget what others will say! BUT LET ME MAKE THAT DECISION ALREADY! :)
Having just gone through that minefield in relation to my work I can only wish you yishuv hadaas and may you be happy with with whatever you decide.
Oops should be 'weigh up' - sorry!
well, i just asked advice from those in the know, and i was told "absolutely not!"
as in, don't switch. stay with what you're doing...
ahhhhh...
it feels so good to be validated...
Ain simcha k'hataras ha'sfiekos...
Good for you...I'm glad you're a little better...
We can NEVER EVER please everyone. There will always be someone who doesnt agree.
The only being we should try to please is the One Above.
As long as He's happy with our decisions, it'll make it so much easier to ignore all the other well meaning, yet invasive advice.
I hope you have siata dishmaya in ure decision and feel satisfied pleasing the Only One it matters to please.
Isn't validation wonderful? It's such a nice feeling. :)
YOu sound like you're good at what you do. Do let people change that!
How can someone else...make changes in YOUR life that way?
