This Clash song has always been one of my favorites from an earlier age (turn it up as they say):
It seems to be applicable to life changing events in general, but particularly so to abandoning ones comfortable “life position” in general and leaping into the void hoping for a soft spot somewhere at the bottom of the chasm. Yes, people do it all the time, but when it’s your turn at the leap, it’s a bit intimidating. I always played this song a lot whenever I went from one software job to another, will there be another?
