Im so glad youve found a job that you love. One of the biggest risks i took was moving to the other side of the country, alone and away from family and friends, for school. It was really hard at first, but I think ive learned so much and grown in a lot more ways than if i had stayed at home. Right now I couldnt be happier. Even though its been years, my family and friends back home and I are still close, even if we arent able to talk or hang out as frequently. Wishing you all the best <3

as a teen i used to avoid hanging around town in case i bumped into someone i know and/or i went to school with. i hated it here and dreamt of one day leaving but of course that never happened, now not only do i love it but working at the local library means i'm actively participating in society. after only three shifts i've bumped into distant relatives, old classmates, my former male best friend and the only boy i've ever had a crush on. it was so crazy. but seeing them after ten years or even more.... was actually nice. i can't believe i'm saying this. i already know my life is gonna be so different after this one year experience

when I leave for Japan, I’m going to miss my gorgeous queen Noelle. I already don’t get to see her a lot because she lives 2 hours away for her college. I’m still not 100% sure on the exact date I’m leaving, but I’m hoping to have a small get together of some of my fave people before I leave. I will be in Japan for a minimum of three months and if we both agree, the wrestling place could offer me a job visa to stay for longer (what I’m aiming for!) In all honesty, the only downside of being in Japan that I can predict so far is being so far away from all my friends and family for such an extended period of time 😞. I’ve always been a homebody, there was a time I refused to leave my TOWN because I was just so scared of God knows what 😭. This whole thing in Japan though is such a major step, my mom is nervous but this is my dream job/position, I can’t just not atleast try it!!

maybe in the end it was just going, but i think i had always known that i wanted to leave the state i lived in but there were some fears in it to.
I think mainly i made sure i had a place of residence to move to, a commitment to move. I flew to the place to get vibes of the town of the building id be living in before signing anything, then i spent the next few months packing, donating, picking up extra shifts, etc.
I planned out my route as i would be driving a long way to get there, made sure i had enough money plus extra in case anything emergency arose. I spent about a week making the longest playlist to listen to.
When the day came to move it was a bit bitter sweet. I knew new adventures awaited me, i knew the town that i grew up it gave me all it had to offer and i bled it dry and staying would only get me so far.
It took awhile to adjust to the new home, new town, new people, but after a couple of months you eventually find that one take out restaurant you like and become a regular, you start to find your ideal grocery stores, you become friends with the people you work with even if for the then next few months you're only friends at work, holidays come up and it'll surprise you how human some people are and you'll fet invited to a work dinner or simply a dinner with a coworker and then you've made your first official friend.
I could go on but I think it comes down to making sure you are ready, you have some safetys set up incase something gose wrong, always do research then just take the step and next thing you know you'll be in your new home
