It is hard to move away from your friends and family. These are the people that you are attached to and these are the people you have spent a good deal of time with. Now that its time for you to move away, to that new job, or that new school, college or what ever, It can be hard to say good-bye.
Plan Ahead
If you know that you will be moving, inform people that you know and love as soon as you can. Even if you are not sure, whether you will be moving for sure or not, still tell them about your plans, and your potential decisions for the future.
Decide What Memories You Want to Take With You
Let us be honest: there are some things you just want to forget about your past. Whether it is your break-up, some one in your family died or anything, some things are better forgotten. There is a Chinese proverb, “if you repeat it a hundred times, it becomes true”. So as a rule of thumb, try to remember those happy memories and let the bad ones fade away.
Decide What to Take With You
From the topic above, certain objects have memories attached to them. It could be your clothes that you wore to your big game, your souvenirs from your trip to Europe, or what ever you have good memories attached to, take them. It will remind you of the good times. In addition, money is an issue; you do not want to spend too much re-starting your whole life.
It is not a re-start, it is a continuation
You are what you experience. You take your experiences everywhere you go. Be proud of your past. Your character is enriched by your past.
The Friend Question
If you had friends where you are moving from, you will have friends where you move to. Sounds simple right; it is. Friendships take time to build. Don't expect to have an equivalent amount of friends as you had when you moved. Instead, focus on building a few, good and close friendships. It is not a numbers game; it is a game of quality. You want to build quality, and enriching friendships
