Dear Ophelia

   If you would like my opinion I would say listen to what your heart says but you still have to keep in mind what your family has to say. Your family will always be there for you usually and are some of the more trustworthy people in your life. However  if a love is strong and true enough you should act on it because you don't know if that opportunity will strike again. Listen to your families opinion but in the end make your own decision off what you feel is the right thing for you to do.
