Will someone give me a kick in the butt?
Permalink Closed

I don't know what is wrong with me but all of the sudden I am scared to move away from my family.  I have a job interview in Houston and I'm excited about possibly going there but at the same time I don't wanna leave home.  I know I eventually have to grow up and move out and be on my own but for some reason I just don't want to.  I know I shouldn't even think about it since I don't have a job or anything like that yet and its an after thought but it still is bugging me.  Will someone please give me a kick in the butt and tell me its ok to grow up and move away especially since jobs aren't permanent and I can move back to town later?


Thanks for listening.

Houston isn't that far! You can drive there from louisiana, right? Plus, if you have a kick-ass new job, you can save up some $$$ and move back home if you want.

I totally know how you feel!


But it's true--you might get the job and find out you LOVE it in Houston!  And if not, you can be stronger for trying.  And either way, you can be proud of yourself for doing somethign that scares you.


  (there's your kick in the butt)

trust me, i know how you feel.  last summer i moved from the east coast to san francisco (where i didn't know a soul), so i'm 3000 miles away from my family and friends.  i completely freaked out a few weeks before i left- i'm talking full-on panic, but now i'm so glad i did it!  it was scary, but i have a job, friends, and a life out here now- and when i think about it, i'm so proud of myself for being brave enough to move out on my own.  and, like my mom said when i freaked out, it's not like you're dying- nothing is permanent.  if you hate it, move back home.  there's no shame in that.  at least you'll never wonder what could have been... 


it's completely normal to have doubts and to want to remain in your comfort zone.  but, like ejc423 said, you'll become so much stronger after moving out on your own and taking control over the direction of your life.  don't let anything hold you back, especially not fear!  good luck!

Thanks Yall.  Houston is 5/6 hrs away from home.  I am just one of those people who hates change and moving away.  I mean I cried every freakin semester from my freshman year to my senior year when I would move out of my house to the dorm/sorority house 30 mins across town.  I would stop after a day at the most.  Its just hard to think about since my family is here and I'm really close to them. I'm hoping I get the job and I can try it out and maybe transfer back after a year.


Sometimes I just need someone to tell me everything is ok and nothing is permanent you know?.
