That's it. Two days ago I landed in Barcelona and my stay in NYC finished. I was happy to see family and friends again, but I'm missing NYC and, in special, the people there a lot.
I'm actually considering moving to NYC as soon as I find a decent job there and postponing the acquisition of a Ph.D. Many people says I should just do that, but some friends say that my feelings will eventually go away and I'll feel comfortable here again. I know that this second thing is true, but why should I accept that if there is a chance for a change? Why can't I try to go and live there? Why do I have to hurt the people I met there? I can think of some reasons to stay in Barcelona for, but I can also think of more interesting reasons to leave.
Anyway... don't worry, this is not the common post you'll find in this blog! I think I'll just go back to blogging about technical stuff. I know I still have to prepare a summary post for the stay and probably a relatively small selection of photos, but I think that will come later. If you ever can go to NYC, don't doubt: just do it.

Julio, do not be afraid to take a desicion. The life is full of decisions.
Nobody should waste time thinking on what would happen if ... bla bla bla. Such kind of decisions are assumed and are always the right ones. Nobody knows what can happen afterwards (if you are not a soothsayer). Your dilemma is quite different of selecting the optimal sorting algorithm for a program... ;)
Salut!
Do not let comfort ruin your wishes though. It's always easier to stay home, but if you're willing to move abroad, since you've already have had a positive experience, it'd actually be a reasonably informed choice. You can always go back home, while you may not always have the opportunity to freely leave for another country when you're older and have more attachments.
