my ex-company has vacancy and asked if i want to go back. i have been working as casual worker for almost 2 years due to the financial crisis, so this is an opportunity to regain my "original status".
however, i have some reservations. the company had a change of management, so the culture is different now. i am afraid of being rejected by my ex-company if i apply for the job. i also feel embarrassed to let them know that i was merely a casual worker since i left the company years ago. in addition, i have a "phobia" of burn-out. i am afraid that if i take up the job, i may quit again.
currently i am picking up new knowledge and skills. if i go back, it would disrupt the new career development. nevertheless, if i stay with the new career development, there is no guarantee that it will take off due to competition and age. i was good at my last job, however as it's been a while since i was at it, i am not sure if i still have the passion to excel in it.
i have gotten used to the freelance lifestyle of a casual worker. i have a strong resistance against "losing my freedom" by taking up an office job. the drawback of casual work is the unstable income which a "proper" day job will be able to give.
what should i do ? apply or not to ? how do i break my inhibition ?

just apply
if rejected, just treat as not successful and stay on in your freelance first lor
if not rejected, and accepted, and since they accepted you on the basis that your resume had reflected you had been doing freelance, so if the HR allows you to pass through, then just accept the job lor
