I usually find change to be terrifying. For some reason, the thought of leaving things behind is the scariest of all. So many of us are focused on what others think, what others want us to do, or be, or look like, that we lose sight of our own goals. There are always going to be people telling you you're making a mistake. Part of you will always wonder of leaving something behind is even the right thing to do. You have to think about whats best for you now.

Sometimes, it's ok to move on.

Maybe you're transferring schools, or leaving behind some old friends, or quitting a job. It's ok. I'm sure you've heard the saying "when one door closes, another one opens," and it's so true. As you turn the page from one chapter of life to the next, new opportunities will come along in your storyline. While it's important to consider every page turn's impact on those around you, it is more important to consider the impact it will have on you.

You deserve to be happy wth the life you're living. Don't let fear of the future keep you stuck in an unhappy present. You will always be able to figure out the future as it comes, but unhappiness in the present will only change if you do something about it.

No matter how many people tell you you're making a mistake, remember that it is not a mistake if it is what is best for you. Don't ever feel guilty for taking care of yourself, or choosing to live the life you want.

If you have friends that always drag you down, move on. If you have a job that's holding you back from pursuing your own goals, move on. if you've committed to a bunch of things you don't have time for, decide which ones are important to you and move on from the rest.

Moving on is natural.

Moving on is healthy.

Don't let anyone talk you out of doing what you know is best for you. Take chances on the things or people you care about, and cut ties with everything else. As you change, what matters to you will too. It's ok to focus on the goals you have now, and the people you care about now. It's ok to leave behind the jobs, people, activities, and places you've grown out of. It's ok to move on. Don't let anybody tell you different.
