If you're up to it, the things that you really want to break free from are best put in the rubbish bin or destroyed then you can be totally free. The things I left behind in the trash were a large Flokati rug and some exquisite coloured slides of frogs that I had crawled in a slimy drain to photograph.

It's scary and at the same time it is liberating. When I was in my early 20's I gave up my rent controlled apartment, quit my job, dropped out of college and bought a one-way plane ticket to Paris and disappeared for a couple of years. The experience changed me and probably changed my life. My travels in Europe have left me with tales to tell and memories that I wouldn't have today if I just stayed home. Just the act of stopping my world and letting go was invigorating. Moving to another state, that's not that dramatic. You're in the same country, you speak the same language. I understand that you are probably a person who just doesn't like change. The thing is that change is constant and continual. There is no stopping change. We can't really remain fixed in life. Change is the way of life and we all have to learn to constantly be able to move with the changing circumstances of our lives. You will be just fine. A change of environment will offer you a newness that will be refreshing. The experience will be invigorating. It's a time for a new beginning and a kind of a rebirth. Have fun exploring your new situation and the possibilities that come with this move. There is a school of thought that claims that there are locations that are more positive for each individual and other locations that are less adventageous. Relocating can bring with it better opportunities for you and maybe the energy in the new location will be more beneficial for you. Look at it as an adventure and just go with the flow. Good luck and best wishes.

Either by choice or circumstances it will be alright. Just remember that you going to be discover who you really are and what you are about. You either love the move or hate it and want to go back. I always think that what you are inside truly will shine. Of course you going have to choose to be either scared or excited Remember when you were just a little kid. How everyday was exciting. That the attitude that the best way to face this new life. I went to New York from California and it was very different I had culture shock here I was use to this nice warm weather. New York was wet and cold and hats and coats wet shoes. I hate it that part but Love Christmas the scenes of snow. That was beautiful. Be full of wonder and allow yourself to enjoy. Good Luck

It is a scary thing to do but you will be simply empowered. You learn to trust yourself and you learn what you are made of and you will experience a deep sense of contentment that will last you the rest of your life. And then everyonce in awhile when things are bad, you will say to yourself, hey, I packed up and moved to another state and alot of people don't have that courage. Use the internet. Contact the Chamber of commerce or Visitor's center of the city you are going to . they can give you a ton of info to make your life easier. I even contacted the local police to find out what neighborhoods were the safest for me to live in. There are also newcomer services in the bigger cities and they will welcome you with coupons and local info. Good luck to you. I can highly recommend the move if you are into it!!!!!!

It's a good thing to do and every should do it a number of times in their lives.

The ability to move on, to change and adapt is essential for the personal growth and development of the individual.

We can't learn, grow and develop without change. If we stay the same then we are not growing.

Yes it can be scary and you might fail, but just by doing it you will learn many valuable lessons that will help you as a person.

Best of luck for the future.

Ohhh, been there and done that, honey. Except it wasn't me, it was the whole family. Fortuantely though I had done it before, and knew from experince to take at least 3 to 10 things that have sentimental value so that you have something of personal value. Mine was my childhood comicbook collection, a lead crystal vase that belonged to my great great grandmother that was given to me on the birth of my second daughter filled with family heirloom roses. My very first 6 christmas ornaments. An antique painted tray that was given to me by my great grandmother. Family photographs as far back as my great great grandfather, and an antique 1920's buddah incense burner, and a prayer, hymn book, that is over a 100 years old, and is from a church that my family originally helped build, and rebuild after it was burnt down by lightning.

I don't really "own" a lot of stuff so I guess I cant relate that much, but I always hate it when I have to leave behind books, even if I have read them. I guess there was just comfort in knowing they where there It always kinda felt like I was leaving part of me behind with them. Maybe that's what you are talking about? Anyways, to new journeys onward ho!!!
Best of luck, fate, or you know whatever gets you by.

I think it's a good thing as long as you aren't running away from something you don't want to face. Yes, it's a huge step to move from the security of what one has, but if it's for the right reason(s) it's definitely a good thing.
