Leaving.

Life is never constant and sometimes you win some sometimes you lose some. When you lose someone or something it may feel like the worst feeling in the world but there’s a reason for the ‘good’ in ‘goodbye’. If you look back on your life have you ever lost someone and later realised how happy you are without that person?

Last year I got accepted to the university of my dreams, but it was 990,2 km away from home. I had a choice to make, leave everything I was comfortable with behind and follow my dreams or stay home and attend a common varsity and probably end up unemployed after receiving my degree. Obviously I chose to follow my dreams but it didn’t come easy, after leaving home most of the friendships I thought would last a lifetime had ended. As painful as it was when I look back I realise that if I had stayed I would never have met my 4 current best friends who have my back through everything and have helped me grow so much in the past 3 months alone.

Life is strange but letting go helps you grow. I had to go through the pain of losing all my friends in order to gain the ones I have now. Leaving home was an investment into my future and I cannot wait to see how much I grow in the years to come.
