Go or Stay?

I am thinking of moving and have been for the last 2 years. I am not happy where I live. I want to move to another state but scared 😱 if things don’t work out.

Would you take the risk of moving or stay where you are at in the familiar safe place? Or have you ever been afraid of doing something and it the end result ended better than expected?

Wow! Thank you everyone for your kind words! I am going take the leap of faith! Sooner rather than later perhaps in next two months.

I will keep similar words posted! 😊

I have moved to completely unfamiliar cities several times, and what I have found is that you thrive there because you know you have no choice. You don't know anyone there, so there is no one to "fall back on". You will go into survival mode and eventually you will feel at home there.

@DearAmbellina2113 Wow! I like this perspective. Thank you for sharing this! 😁😊 I am going keep this in mind too.

Do you have friends, relatives, people you know? Have you been to other places? What are you looking for, what are you trying to avoid or get away from? I changed jobs a year or so ago. It was a scary decision, but I;m happy I made it. I did have the full support of my wife, that made it less scary.

Did you ever jump off a bridge into a river? It's not the doing it that's scary, it's the gettin' round to doing it...

I would explore where it was, I was moving to, and do it if it suited my tastes. I have done this several times in my life and I say investigate and move.

@JaneCas Yes, exactly so!

@WillaKissing thank you WillaKissing! 😊😁

@JaneCas You are quite welcome and good luck! 😊
I have learned that if I’m not happy with my current situation, change is always good. Yes, the new situation may not be better, or maybe even worse, but you don’t know that. It’s something you will learn. You’ve already learned you are not happy where you are. Take that lesson and move on. Life is a series of learning lessons

Change is always a scary thing. If you only have to worry about you then the risk is minimal. You can always move back. If someone depends on you, it becomes tricker. I hope you find the courage to do what you need to do to be happy. In any event at least change your situation for the better.

You aren't burning bridges just crossing them ,so you always have the option to return to your roots if it doesn't work out . I always think it's better to try and maybe fail than live a life of regret because you are too scared to give things a go .
I did thid numerous times. Even moved to another country. Learned a lot about life and myself. You have nothing to lose. Just fear. You are young. Get your life experience now. It is a great world out there. Go explore.
One day, you're going to look back on your life... Would you rather look back and say "Well, that didn't work out - but at least I tried" or "Golly gosh, I wonder how that might have played out for me"???

A word of advice. Never run away from anything. Find something you want to run toward, then go..Or you will be taking your problems with you..😷

A new space equals a new opportunity and a new start. If you are able to move then take the leap. You’ll never know if it will work until you try. Very best of luck!

I have taken the risk of moving to another state a few times in my life. It always worked out okay. I didn't find it that scary.

If I had the chance to move away from all this shit, I'd take it without a second thought. So go now, while you have the chance.
