Living and working in SG; yes, no?

I'm a fresh 24 yo graduate out of a liberal arts college (yes, yes, I know) in Western Europe.

During my three year degree, I spent 6 months on exchange in Singapore, where I had the time of my life. Upon returning to the my home country in December 2016, I've been trying to find a job or internship to get back.

Now, I've scored a breakthrough; a sports marketing company has offered me an internship for 6 months to a year, with 800 SGD pay per month. After that year, I could join up with my exchange uni for 35K in USD per month for two years and plan my further career.

I have loads of friends in Singapore, clamouring for me to come back. It's been my biggest wish to go back....

... but now, with the opportunity a signed contract away, I'm doubting everything. Leaving my cushy European state, leaving my girlfriend of two years (who has some mental health issues and is most likely not the right person for me to be with forever), taking the leap of faith to SG.

I think I'm just being a huge bitch. Does anyone have experience with taking a step like this? Good idea, bad idea? Any experience with Singapore? The laternative is doing a masters degree in international relations or urban geography in my home country.

One day, when we are older we will all look back on the memories we made today and I hope that, despite the weight of this decision, you will make the most of the time you have now.
Your home country won't move, but chances like this are ever fleeting.

It's ok to be scared, for fear is of the unknown. You are no less a person for acknowledging risks you are taking. You say you have made many friends? They will support you if luck ever escapes you. And when you return home someday, you can bring home the stories of the adventures you had whilst abroad, having become a cultured individual.

I hope I may have reassured you a little.

Now go and have an adventure.
