Change: Moving to New York

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well. My family is moving to New York City due to family drama reasons, and yesterday, i visited the place where I will soon call home. Or at least I'm supposed to call home. I'm trying to be a good sport about the move, but im leaving a place that is extremely important to me and my childhood. I cried while looking around. I dont think anyone saw me, but i shed some tears. I going to make this quick and transparent. I don't want to move. I dont want to change my home, and meet new people. I don't feel comfortable with this change, but unfortunately, i have to. Ultimately, I know its best for my family, but it's just hard. Change is hard but necessary for growth.

Here's how I dealt with this change: I brought my very very best friend, and support system, with me to experience this huge change. She helped me keep calm and collected around my parents when all i wanted to do was scream at them for making me do this. She reminded me that it is okay, and such an amazing opportunity to explore new parts of the world. She helped me think, even briefly, of how wonderful New York could be. Though im still uneasy and the move, and i will continue talking about it online, i know that, with time, it will all be okay. Thank you for listening to my rant, and i hope this helped anyone else struggling with a big change. 

xoxo,
