i cant

i am TORN to pieces 
completely torn
yesterday i got an amazing new job
full time
big pay
working a job i know nothing about
but the second i left that office
i started questioning it
and debating
the war of
pro's and con's
of this new job was never ending
they were equal

today i had to tell my boss
about my new job
every time i thought of what i would say
and finally get the courage to say it
i would get the most gut wrenching pain
and it would suck my words back into me
i just couldnt!
then i had to help a customer
and i just blurted out
"i got a new job" to him
he looked at me awkwardly 
and said
"well thats nice"
i guess i was using him as a practice trial...
 
this is how the conversation went
when i finally grew the lady balls
to tell my boss
m: i have some sad news
b: your leaving us?
m: yeah, actually, i kinda got a new job
handed to me yesterday
its full time and pays
really well
b: i was about to give you full time and another pay raise
m: i didn't know that....
(long extremely uncomfortable silence)
m: i can still work here for two weeks
and help train any new employees

and thats the swing of it

then i left, the second i walked out
the door i burst into tears
not just streaming down my face
like these things were flying!
and i was sobbing
i was a mess
this is like breaking up with a boyfriend!
I AM IN LOVE
WITH MY JOB!
seriously
i love every thing about it
and having to give it up
incredibly painful
seriously the way i feel right now
is like i just broke up with a boyfriend
but almost worse cause
this was the PERFECT boyfriend
i am completely broken hearted

so on my way home i called my dad
and just cried to him for way too long
then i finally told him what had happened
and the conversation went like this
m: i just told my boss about the new job
d: how did she take it?
[i told him our conversation]
d: do you think she was kidding about full 
time and a pay raise?
m: no cause so many employees are leaving
i know they need a lot of help right now
d: well i think you should negotiate 
hours and pay with your boss
i know how much you love your job
and how hard it is to find a job you actually love
m: i know (more sobbing)
d: well you have to think do you want a job
you know and love or do you want 
to see whats behind door number two?
m: i dont know! daddy i am so lost!
d: feeling lost is a sign of unsurity
if your not sure about something
its probably not right
m: i just dont know
d: i know sweet heart but i would 
talk to your boss again and talk about
getting more hours and more money
m: but she was so angry! i dont want to
talk to her and what about ryan?
i already took the job
d: if your boss really values you as an employee 
she will listen to you and i will
help you with ryan
you are replaceable to him
not so much though to the sweet tooth
i've gotta go i will call you back when i can

then i sat in my driveway and cried some more
its not even noon....
and i still dont know what to do
am i being a baby by not taking a risk
and taking on a harder job?
i think i am fighting this so much because
i am such a risk taker
i love challenges
and thats what this new job is
its a challenge
but i am not sure its worth it...

F.M.L
to the max
someone help me.
