No worries, you’re not alone–lots of my helpers feel that way every time they do a search. A couple of pieces of advice. 1) Your application should be about how you help them solve a problem or problems. 2) Use your cover letter to point to how your resume and experience match what they’re asking for, or rewrite your resume so it’s in their terms (or both). 3) Do not be shy about applying if you don’t meet all of the qualifications. Good luck!
I can’t tell you what the right decision for you is, but I can absolutely tell you that you will have plenty of occasions to make up and change your mind about what your life is for.

It’s more an art than a science. Some things are more under your control than others, so try focusing a little more on those. Make a decision about where you think you want to be and you’ll often find the other uncertainty gets out of your way.
Scared to leave. Give me a parting quote or poem about life, Wall?
