Have any of you moved away? I want to move away 500 miles its for college and because my dad is selling up and going on a road trip around the country, so I must decide if I want to live in this state or the state where I am happy. Every time I visited I always known I had wanted to live there. It is such a great place to be. People aren't drug fucked and its nice and quiet where I can study for the next forseeable 5+ years... but I will miss my friends too much. Does any older people have some suggestions? Once I move there I can't really come back, I want to go there because it is a great place with great people who are very nice to me, just anyone on the street is nice, but I'll miss my 5 friends who mean the world to me.
Has anyone been in this situation? Did they make the move? Were they happier for the better? I just feel that anyone I meet from here on in will be my friend and that will be good, but they wont be the people I know that I grew up with, that I have all these familiar memories with. Of course I will make new memories with the people that I will meet on my new adventures, but once I move I pretty much won't have anymore contact with these people. I don't think they'll be driving or flying all the time so I think I will be flying there to see family every 3-6 months and I'll most likely see them too while I'm there. But it won't be the same.
I feel kind of scared about it, like a chapter in my life will be closing and I will be starting fresh, starting anew, and no one will ever really *know me*? The people I grew up with saw me and met me but as I'm older now, I won't know anyone that knows me, it'll take years to get to know and trust people again, because those 5 friends were from heaps that I knew from a large area but due to distancing/time/unforgivable events those large groups of people I used to socialize with turned into 5 people I regularly kept in contact with.
I'm just scared. Scared for the future. Can anyone relate here?
