Hi Deepika, I haven’t experienced such a bug move but I now that sometimes excitement can masquerade as fear! Change is good and exciting! You can also move back or go somewhere different if it doesn’t work out but you will kick yourself if you don’t try! Good luck! 😊

Hi, thank you so much for this perspective 😊 I never really thought about excitement disguising itself as fear and you’re also right — knowing that nothing is permanent and that I can always make another change if needed does make it feel less overwhelming. I think I’d regret not trying more than trying and learning from it.
Really appreciate the encouragement — it helps more than you know.

I really admire you for even considering it. Big moves come with so many mixed emotions, and it makes sense to feel both excited and scared at the same time. When I went through a major change, what helped was reminding myself that fear doesn’t always mean “don’t do it” — sometimes it just means it matters. Staying connected to family in small, consistent ways also made the transition easier. You’re allowed to feel all of it.

Thank you so much, Christianah — for the lovely word.

You’re right, the mixed emotions are very real. Some days I feel excited, and other days I catch myself overthinking everything. But what you said about fear not always meaning “don’t do it” really stayed with me. Sometimes it probably just means it’s important.

Staying connected with family is something I know will help me feel grounded during the transition. I’m hoping that once I create a routine for myself in the new city, things will start to feel more familiar and manageable.
