what comes next.....??

Packing everything up, selling your belongings, relegating your life's collections to the Goodwill pile, forwarding mail to an unknown address- these are all things that people do all the time. Getting married, getting divorced, changing careers; there are many things that can make one uproot their life and move on. Change is innate in life and is something I got very used to growing up overseas. Moving on swwiftly and seamlessly was part of the routine- friends came and went, we moved house 10 different times, groups shifted, dynamics wavered and even our school campus morphed continuously into what is now practically unrecognizable! But this time felt very different- this time I was doing all of these things for what seemed to be no good reason. Just a feeling is all that led to everything that is coming next...Its all I needed to give up and go on, and while exhiliration and a sense of empowerment are inevitable, the undulating fear that washed over is the most intense..
