Life Changing Decisions

So, what do you do when you're 7 months away from turning 30 and it hits you that you're just going through the motions, living a life that you never envisioned for yourself? Is it possible to have a mid-life crisis before you hit your mid-life? I believe it is but I also believe that what I'm going through is for the best. People keep telling me 'you're young, you're young...you have your whole life ahead of you' but when I look back on the goals and dreams that I had just ten years ago, I feel like I've been holding myself back, afraid of a real challenge, afraid to live the life that was meant for me. Now, I do not know exactly what that life is, however, I do know that I'm not supposed to be unhappy all of the time. Maybe every once in awhile but not every day.
So, I'm going to do something about it. I'm making a life changing decision and I feel so relieved, it's not even funny. Like, once I turned my back on what is holding me back, I see nothing but positive things happening for me. No, I do not think it's too late. I think it's right on time. I have to do what makes me happy and I don't care if I fall down. I'll get back up and try again. I won't be afraid of failure because I can't fail at this. Failure is not an option. From now on, that word is no longer in my vocabulary. So, I'm staying positive and optimistic and I've put myself in a situation where I can do that. For that, I respect myself a little more.
