Leaving

Why is it that we're afraid to leave? 

Is it because we're afraid we won't make it back? Afraid maybe the place we're going is too different? Or is it because we're afraid of what we might be coming back to? 

I think it's the latter. I think we're oftentimes afraid that while we're gone something will change. We usually assume things will change for the worse due to our absence. Afraid that while we're gone our family will be in need of our help, our loved ones will forget us, or that time will simply pass us by. 

We can't be afraid of leaving though. 

Move away and move at your own pace. Don't be afraid to look back or go back to where you started, but don't ever expect things to be exactly how you left them. In fact, when you leave you should expect things to change.

Truth be told when you leave you'll do some changing of your own. Of course you'll be reluctant to admit it because as I said earlier change usually comes with a negative connotation.

Leave. Change. Return. Accept.

Leave where you're comfortable, change if you must, return back home, and accept the situation for what it is.
