There's this feeling at the back of my mind that I'm going to choose the "wrong" life path. Right now, I'm 27, working in web editing at a university, have a boyfriend I'm a little back-and-forth about, and I have a BA.

Part of me wants to get an online master's degree in communications to further my career and have a kid with my boyfriend and stick with my current employer. Part of me wants to move away from my boyfriend (which would likely seriously hurt if not end our relationship) and pursue a PhD in a subject entirely unrelated from my current work. Part of me wonders if I should just leave everything behind and move to France (I live in the USA but have French citizenship and family over there). That last one is mostly just a fanciful idea, but still.

None of these options feels like TOTALLY the right choice. I'd LIKE to have a child, I'd LIKE to move to France, I'd LIKE to get a PhD. But I'm not super passionate about any of these choices, and I feel like no matter which choice I pick, I'll regret something.

I suppose the core problem is that I don't know what I value and hold dear, what makes life worth living for me. I just sort of cruise through life, going with the flow, at the moment. I want to live more intentionally, but what IS my intent? I don't know.

I don't expect anyone to have a specific answer to what my life should be, but does anyone have advice for how I can figure it out? Has anyone been through something similar, and if so, how did you figure it out, if you have?

Thanks!
