I mean, I'd like to think that I'm not boring, and I know that I couldn't have told you exactly what situation I'd be in right now, but I hate change.

I did something similar when it came down to staying in the city where I was comfortable, at a job that I was doing well in, to move to a completely different city and start over. And now here I am working at the job I always wanted.
