Thank you for this! And everything here is so true and on point! Having moved a lot when I was young, I thought it would be easy emotionally to just transition when moving to a different state later on in life. Boy was I wrong! All of the phases of emotions you described is spot on. 🥰🥰
Yep! And each time you return back to the previous state, so much has changed that it also makes it easier to move on. And yesss you do find out who your real friends are post-move 😭😭😭
Wow, I resonate with this very much. I’ve been gone only 3 years but from a place I grew up and loved 40 years. I felt all of this. I still do. I thought it would be easier. I watched everyone move away during the beginning and in the midst of Covid and it seemed easy and a happy transition. It was not.

Right?! I thought “I got this”! But it was WAY more difficult than expected!

Moving is HARD! It takes years to adjust! Sending you love!!!
