If you are considering starting new, then it is probably time to do so. It takes a lot of courage, but it is the best thing you can do for yourself in the end. I have started new on a few occassions. Some were forced, and some I chose. I don't regret any of them, and I realize now that it has made me who I am today.

*And there is nothing wrong with moving to start over. I moved from NV to MD, to another part of MD, to WV, and most recently to WA. I think its much easier to "start fresh" when everything around you is fresh.; ▶ Reply to This

The most recent move I made from WV to WA was very easy. I knew it was time for me to find my happiness elsewhere. I was stagnant where I was. I left my parents and every friend I had to move in with my boyfriend in the middle of nowhere in a state I'd never been to. We had no idea what we were going to do when we got here....we canvased the area looking for jobs and barely survived the first 3 months [if it weren't for our parents, we might not have...] Even with all of that stress, I was the happiest I'd ever been. I love my job, this area, and the guy.

So, in a nutshell, at first it will seem quite hard; but it will be beyond worth it in the end. :); ▶ Reply to This

I've literally been pushed to the point where I dropped whatever I had in my hand or what I was doing an literally turned around and walked away. It's just a realization within yourself.; ▶ Reply to This

If it's unhealthy, unfulfilling, and/or detrimental to your ability to move forward with your life, it needs to change. Change is not always easy, especially when you want to wipe the slate completely clean and start over, but sometimes it's for the best. After a while, you will settle into things and find that you were happier than before. If not, it's time to make another move, whatever that move may be.; ▶ Reply to This
