Why is change so scary?

I'm like genuinely so excited for all the ways my life has been changing recently and the ways i can see it continue to change. I'm so excited and so so happy, but fuck I'm terrified.
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going.
I feel like I'm going through a life crisis. again. I'm 28 and it feels like I've had 100 already. I should be used to it I think.
I can't help but cry at seeing all the things I'm consciously choosing to say goodbye to. The people, the places, the versions of myself that no longer exist.
I wish I had a way to be more graceful while saying goodbye but I don't. I don't know how to move forward without this bittersweet taste in my mouth.
I'm not necessarily looking for a solution either, I do believe this grief will help me in the future to hold all these memories in a good warm place instead of a dusty basement I'm scared to look into.
But it's so scary.

Some dont realise that just about all change, even good change, is painful.

You have to let go the old to make room for the new.

Or, as the saying goes "Ya gotta break some eggs if u wanna bake a cake",🤷‍♀

Good for you 💪
