There are so many things that can happen.
"What if you don't make it?"
"What if something bad happens?"
"What if you lose everything that you are?"
And no shortage of people who tell you that.
I believe that is how independence is forged - by seeing the What If, and being forced to live and survive on your own.
And because sometimes you have no one to rely on... it can get pretty rough.
I wonder if sometimes you'll miss your job, family, friends, and the times you've hung out with them, because your heart lies here.
I wonder if you'll get scared because they're not around you.
I wonder if you'll have self-doubts and questions, because the path ahead is so unknown.
All the same... I agree with the belief that in life, you have to get out of your comfort zone, to experience something new, to live life while you are young. God knows I need to move to USA or Canada now, away from this country which I feel is too small for what I want to do.
(If only my parents would agree to do something about it!!)
It's a good thing to want to break free to change your situation. Great things have happened to people who just decided, one day, to pack, move and work hard toward what they want.
Just to name a few: Ashley Isham, Corinne May, Taylor Swift.
I think, in the end, you should just go where your heart desires and where you think is the best for you.
Sometimes it's better to block out the What If. Be confident.
Don't be scared of the unknown, just be cautious of it.
Keep your friends and family in your heart.
Think of the success you'll achieve and what you'll become after you emerge from this, like steel tempered by fire!
